Quantum computers have performed the full slate of tricks needed for robust computation. And it all came down to a little magic. In a pair of papers submitted June 17 at arXiv.org, researchers ...
Making quantum computers fault-tolerant (and scaling effective error correction to enable this) is a key barrier to a new era of quantum supremacy. A new study ...
Quantum computing just got a significant boost thanks to researchers at the University of Osaka, who developed a much more efficient way to create "magic states" a key component for fault-tolerant ...
BOSTON, July 14, 2025 — A team of scientists from QuEra Computing, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has reported the experimental demonstration of magic state ...

How does quantum locking work?

Quantum locking looks like magic, but it’s real physics in action. This video breaks down how superconductors interact with magnetic fields, why objects can appear to float or lock in place, and ...
