The survey found that 95% of respondents consider QEC to be critical for scaling quantum computing, with 99% expressing interest in QEC as a field of study.<\/p>\n<p>However, the survey indicates a gap between the community\u2019s interest and its preparedness. Professionals and academics identified insufficient training and knowledge (41% of respondents), a lack of guidelines (28%), and difficulty accessing resources (28%) as the main barriers to QEC adoption. Additionally, a majority of respondents cited a \u201clack of sufficiently large and stable quantum computers to run experiments.\u201d The survey also found that two-thirds of organizations have allocated resources to QEC, with 43% planning a hybrid in-house and partnership approach to implementation.<\/p>\n<p>The survey findings align with a shift in global government strategies and the roadmaps of quantum hardware companies, where QEC has become a key priority. Examples include the UK government\u2019s target of one million error-corrected quantum operations (MegaQuOp) by 2028 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darpa.mil\/research\/programs\/quantum-benchmarking-initiative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">DARPA\u2019s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This indicates that QEC, while widely recognized as essential for fault-tolerant quantum computing, faces practical hurdles related to skills and resources. Riverlane is expanding its QEC capabilities to include enablement and open-source software development, providing tools, training, and support to the quantum community with the goal of helping the field progress toward utility-scale quantum systems.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full report summary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=https:\/\/www.riverlane.com\/news\/qec-survey-results-2025\/&amp;authuser=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">August 7, 2025<\/p>\n<p>                    <a href=\"#\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"window.print(); return false;\" title=\"Printer Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\"><br \/>\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf-button-img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/printfriendly-pdf-button.png\" alt=\"Print Friendly, PDF &amp; Email\" style=\"width: 112px;height: 24px;\"\/><br \/>\n                    <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Riverlane, a quantum error correction (QEC) company, will release new survey results from its 2025 QEC Survey, conducted&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50295,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[64,63,257,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-50294","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-computing","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50294"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50294\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
