Australian Researchers Devise Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer

Posted by timothy on from the majority-rules dept.

schliz writes "Researchers have devised a theoretical quantum computer that could function even if one in four qubits were missing. The design is claimed to be the first that tolerates both qubit loss and decoherance to this extent. It performs calculations by measuring, rather than manipulating qubits, so there are fewer points of failure."

    Oh sure, it's fault tolerant... until you look at it.

    That quotation has been ascribed to several famous people. It's likely not from Yogi Berra. Kindly don't perpetuate urban legends. Thanks. - Yogi Berri
