Google’s new quantum chip achieves accuracy milestone

Google scientists have demonstrated that, with the right error-correction techniques, quantum computers can perform calculations with increasing accuracy as they are scaled up. The newest chip, Willow, has performed ‘below threshold’ quantum calculations — a key milestone in the quest to build quantum computers that are accurate enough to be useful.
