Nord Quantique announces latest advance in quantum error correction

One of Canada’s quantum frontrunners announced another breakthrough in error correction on quantum computers, in an effort to make them useful in the real world. The news: Sherbrooke, Que.-based Nord Quantique, last valued at $1.4 billion USD ($1.9 billion CAD), published a research paper demonstrating that it achieved errors below 0.1 percent on a single-mode, grid-state qubit. This means it significantly reduced the number of errors and interference that could cause the basic hardware unit of
