The race to solve the biggest problem in quantum computing
The errors that quantum computers make are holding the technology back. Quantum computers won't be truly useful until they can correct their mistakes Quantum computers are already here, but they make far too many errors. This is arguably the biggest obstacle to the technology really becoming useful, but recent breakthroughs suggest a solution may be on the horizon. Errors creep into traditional computers too, but there are well-established techniques for correcting them. They rely on redundancy, where extra bits are used to detect when 0s incorrectly swap to 1s or vice versa.
