Quantum computing has been stuck in a frustrating limbo for years — impressive demonstrations in controlled conditions, but always with the caveat that error rates made practical applications impossible. That wall just cracked. A team has demonstrated logical qubits with error rates low enough to sustain meaningful computation, crossing a threshold that many thought was still years away.

What Makes This Different

Previous quantum computers relied on physical qubits — the actual hardware uni...
