IBM On Track To Achieve Quantum Advantage By 2026 Using Error Mitigation

Noise is currently quantum computing’s biggest challenge as well as its most significant limitation. IBM is working to reduce that noise in the next few years through various types of quantum error management until true quantum error correction (QEC) is attained. Here is why reducing noise is so important. A quantum bit (qubit) is the …
