Microsoft, at this week’s Quantum World Congress, provided exciting updates on their quantum program, showcasing significant advancements and developments.
One of the highlights is their partnership with Quantinuum involving groundbreaking error correction research. The collaboration led to the creation of a more efficient [16,4,4] tesseract code, enabling the encoding of four logical qubits with only 16 physical qubits. Their successful implementation on Quantum’s processors resulted in remarkable circuit error rate improvements, showcasing Microsoft’s commitment to advancing quantum technology.
Additionally, Microsoft and Quantinuum collaborated on a hybrid classical/quantum chemical simulation, leveraging HPC, AI, and quantum processing to estimate ground state energy. Their use of error correction and innovative quantum computing architecture demonstrates the potential for quantum supercomputers in scientific applications.
Lastly, Microsoft announced a new collaboration with Atom Computing, aiming to develop a quantum computer system with more than 50 logical qubits. This partnership combines Atom’s innovative neutral atom technology with Microsoft’s expertise in qubit virtualization and error correction, paving the way for advanced quantum computing capabilities.
