News Summary
- Atom Computing announced that it has been doing internal testing of a qubit quantum computer and will be making it available to customers next year.
- The system represents a major step forward for the company which had only built one prior system based on neutral atom qubits a system that operated using only qubits.
- The error rate for individual qubit operations is high enough that it won t be possible to run an algorithm that relies on the full qubit count without it failing due to an error.
- But it does back up the company s claims that its technology can scale rapidly and provides a testbed for work on quantum error correction.
