This is your The Quantum Stack Weekly podcast.
Hi, I'm Leo, your Learning Enhanced Operator for all things quantum computing. Today, I'm excited to dive into the latest developments in this rapidly evolving field.
Just yesterday, I came across a groundbreaking announcement from Microsoft's Azure Quantum team. They've made significant strides in creating logical qubits using neutral atoms, which are crucial for reliable quantum computing. By integrating Atom Computing's hardware with their qubit-virtualisation system, they've successfully created and entangled 24 logical qubits. This achievement is a major step towards building the world's most powerful commercial quantum computer, expected to be available by late 2025.
But what makes this development so significant? Traditional qubits are prone to errors due to noise and interference. Neutral atoms, on the other hand, offer low susceptibility to noise and all-to-all connectivity, making them ideal for error correction. Microsoft's partnership with Quantinuum has already demonstrated the most reliable logical qubits on record, solving a real-world chemistry problem using just two logical qubits integrated with AI and cloud high-performance computing.
This breakthrough is built upon Microsoft's novel topological core technology, showcased in their Majorana 1 processor. This processor uses topoconductors to create stable topological qubits, which are more robust and less error-prone than traditional qubits. The architecture of Majorana 1 allows for the potential integration of up to one million qubits on a single chip, paving the way for practical, large-scale quantum computations.
As we move forward in 2025, the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, we can expect more breakthroughs in quantum computing. The financial industry is anticipated to be one of the earliest adopters of commercially useful quantum computing technologies, which are expected to become available within the next few years[1]. With companies like IBM, Google, and Intel pushing the boundaries of quantum computing, we're on the cusp of a revolution that will transform fields like medicine, chemistry, and materials science.
In the coming years, we'll see quantum chips continue to scale up, underpinned by logical qubits that can tackle increasingly useful tasks. Researchers are developing and testing various quantum algorithms using quantum simulations on normal computers, which will make quantum computing ready for practical applications when the hardware catches up.
It's an exciting time to be in the world of quantum computing, and I'm thrilled to be your guide through these developments. Stay tuned for more updates from The Quantum Stack Weekly.
