IonQ researchers say ‘Walking Cat’ blueprint could lead to machines running millions of gates on thousands of qubits

Responsive Image

insider brief IonQ researchers have published a detailed end-to-end blueprint for a fault-tolerant quantum computer based on trapped ions. This allows them to perform millions of logical operations on hundreds of error-correcting qubits using just 2,514 physical qubits. The architecture, dubbed “Walking Cat,” is built on a modern error correction approach called quantum LDPC codes … Read more
