Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...

In addition, the announcement demonstrates a full error-correction cycle, not just parts of the cycle, as was the case in previous experiments, says Sam Lucero, chief quantum analyst at Omdia.
