The final weeks of 2023 were very busy in the field of error correction for quantum computing. Amazon and IBM both had major announcements in that regard. Still, a project involving researchers from Harvard University, MIT, the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science operated by NIST and the University of Maryland, and neutral-atom quantum computing firm QuEra Computing arguably stole the spotlight with the claim of the successful execution of large-scale algorithms on an error-corrected quantum computer with 48 logical qubits. QuEra CM Yuval Boger recently talked to IQT PRO about the achievement and what it could mean.
