Nord Quantique has introduced a novel approach to quantum computing that requires only one hardware qubit to manage errors effectively, unlike competitors dependent on multiple qubits. This innovation not only simplifies physical space requirements and reduces power consumption but also positions Nord Quantique's technology favorably against challenges in scaling qubit operations. As other companies experiment with more complex logical qubit operations, Nord Quantique remains focused on achieving error-free performance over extended periods, potentially setting a new benchmark in the quantum computing landscape.
When we do this, we don't have any errors left. And this builds confidence into this approach, meaning that if we build the next generation of codes that is now able to correct these errors that were detected in this two-mode approach, we should have that flat line of no errors occurring over a long period of time.
So simply being able to identify the occurrence of errors is not on the cutting edge. Why is this notable?
From Nord Quantique's perspective, that's significant because it means that its hardware will ultimately occupy less space and have lower power and cooling requirements than some of its competitors.
Most researchers have plans to minimize the number of hardware qubits needed to support a logical qubit-some combination of high-quality hardware, a clever error correction scheme.
