Making Quantum computers more reliable

Researchers are tackling one of quantum computing’s biggest challenges—unreliable measurement results. A new study shows that by actively monitoring and recalibrating charge on superconducting qubits, disruptive quantum state transitions can be reduced, leading to fewer readout errors and more dependable quantum computations. This advance brings practical, high-fidelity quantum processors closer to reality.
