Research Note: IBM Research’s Breakthrough in Error Mitigation/Correction for Quantum Computing

In a new paper published in the journal Nature, IBM Research describes a new approach that addresses a fundamental challenge in quantum computing: the vulnerability of quantum hardware to errors caused by environmental noise. This issue is a significant hurdle in developing and operating utility-scale quantum circuits, which are essential for practical applications of quantum computing.
