Insider Brief<\/p>\n

Atom Computing reported the first full demonstration of quantum error correction using a toric code on a neutral-atom quantum computer, showing that logical error rates decrease as more qubits are added and achieving sustained error correction over many rounds. <\/p>\n

The results make Atom Computing one of only two companies to demonstrate many rounds of sustained quantum error correction and the first to do so with a neutral-atom architecture. <\/p>\n

The milestone builds on Atom Computing\u2019s commercial and government-backed efforts, including its Magne system deployment with QuNorth and Microsoft, participation in DARPA\u2019s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, and a recently announced $100 million funding agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce.<\/p>\n

PRESS RELEASE \u2014 Atom Computing today announced the industry\u2019s first full demonstration of quantum error correction using a toric code. The results show that the company\u2019s neutral-atom system reduces errors as larger numbers of qubits are used in computations, placing Atom Computing among only two companies that have demonstrated many rounds of sustained quantum error correction and marking the first time this has been achieved using neutral atoms. It represents a strong validation of Atom\u2019s approach and positions the company at the forefront of the race toward fault-tolerant quantum computing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a historic moment for quantum computing,\u201d said Dr. Ben Bloom, CEO and Founder of Atom Computing. \u201cToday, we have shown that practical quantum error correction can be achieved with our neutral-atom technology. This is the clearest demonstration yet that neutral atoms are highly competitive with superconducting systems and other approaches for building scalable logical qubits. We\u2019ve reached this milestone faster and with greater capital efficiency than larger players in the industry, and we\u2019re excited to build on this progress and share more results later this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quantum error correction is essential to unlocking the full potential of quantum computing. Quantum systems are sensitive to noise and errors, which must be detected and corrected repeatedly across many rounds of operations to ensure reliable results. A key requirement for effective error correction is that the error rates of logical qubits decrease as the system scales up. Atom Computing\u2019s results demonstrate that its neutral-atom systems meet this requirement, accelerating the path to utility-scale quantum computing.<\/p>\n

\"Responsive<\/a><\/p>\n

Atom Computing\u2019s unique architecture and proprietary technologies were critical to achieving these results. For example, its ability to dynamically rearrange qubits enables all-to-all connectivity, removing the constraints of fixed hardware layouts found in other modalities. The system\u2019s zoned architecture supports highly parallelized operations enabling faster overall computation, and Atom\u2019s nuclear-spin qubits exhibit record-breaking coherence times, which are essential for running deep, complex algorithms. Together, these features enable fast algorithm execution and greater flexibility in algorithm design, crucial to achieving this milestone in neutral atom computing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis looks like exciting progress toward fault-tolerance for neutral-atom quantum computers \u2014 specifically, in repeatedly refreshing the atoms in a way that preserves the logical information. Congratulations to Atom Computing on its accomplishment,\u201d said Dr. Scott Aaronson, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin and Director of its Quantum Information Center.<\/p>\n

The technical achievement directly supports Atom Computing\u2019s expanding commercial footprint. Last year, the company sold the world\u2019s first commercial quantum computer with logical qubits to QuNorth, a Nordic quantum initiative funded by EIFO and the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Currently being installed in partnership with Microsoft, the on-premises quantum system, Magne, is paving the way for advanced regional collaborations.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemonstrations like this of increased fidelities through quantum error correction are important proof points that we\u2019re on the right trajectory toward utility\u2011scale quantum systems,\u201d said Dr. Matthias Troyer, Technical Fellow and Corporate Vice President at Microsoft Quantum. \u201cMicrosoft is proud to partner with Atom Computing to bring even greater capability to QuNorth and the Nordic quantum ecosystem through Magne.\u201d<\/p>\n

With this milestone, the company\u2019s participation in stage B of the DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative and having recently signed a Letter of Intent with the U.S. Department of Commerce for $100 million of funding, Atom Computing continues to push the boundaries of quantum technology, bringing reliable, utility-scale quantum computing closer to reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Insider Brief Atom Computing reported the first full demonstration of quantum error correction using a toric code on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":475695,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[85,46,370,141],"class_list":["post-475694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-physics","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-physics","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=475694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/475695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=475694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=475694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
