That's very useful, I missed that when I read through the article.
If the logical qubit can have double the lifetime of any physical qubit, that's massive. Recall IBM's chips, with t-times of ~400microseconds. Doubling that would change the order of magnitude.
It still won't be enough to do much in the near term - like other commenters say, this seems to be a proof of concept - but the concept is very promising.
The first company to get there and make their systems easy to use could see a similar run up in value to NVIDIA after ChatGPT3. IBM seems to be the strongest in the space overall, for now.
- deepburner 2y agoI'm sorry if this is nitpicky but your comment is hilarious to me - doubling something is doubling something, "changing the order of magnitude" would entail multiplication by 10.
- LeftHandPath 2y agoHahaha not at all, great catch. Sometimes my gray matter just totally craps out... like thinking of "changing order of magnitude" as "adding 1 extra digit". Reminds me of the time my research director pulled me aside for defining CPU as "core processing unit" instead of "central processing unit" in a paper!
