Quantum processors do not need to correct errors in specific calculations

FAP, June 15 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-Nature reported on the 14th that a quantum processor can surpass classical computing without error correction. This IBM127 qubit processor surpasses the capabilities of the current best classical computing methods in the manufacture and measurement of highly entangled quantum states. This result shows that quantum computers may be used in some specific calculations in the near future without fault tolerance (avoiding or quickly correcting errors under control when running quantum computers), taking a big step towards practicality.
