Sooner than expected? Useful quantum error correction promised for 2028.
Quantum computing researchers are accelerating timelines, with new projections suggesting useful, error-corrected quantum computing could be achieved by 2028. The field is currently focused on developing logical qubits to overcome the inherent instability of current hardware.
Why it matters
Achieving error-corrected quantum computing would mark a major technological milestone, potentially enabling breakthroughs in chemistry and the eventual ability to break current encryption standards.
Define useful ? Sooner than expected? Useful quantum error correction promised for 2028. Elsewhere, beyond-classical quantum hardware, plus classical computing fires back.
