IBM quantum processor achieves highest fidelity calculations for the longest period of time on record

Spirals of bright green and purple particles swirl clockwise over a navy blue background.

Researchers have achieved a new record for qubit fidelity in superconducting quantum computer systems — overcoming a key barrier in quantum computing.

In a study published Feb. 27 in the journal Nature Communications, scientists from IBM, RWTH Aachen University in Germany and Los Angeles-based startup Quantum Elements addressed quantum error correction and suppression, which is the largest hurdle to building machines more powerful than the fastest supercomputers.
