‘Magic’ states empower error-resistant quantum computing

Quantum computers boast a full set of robust operations thanks to special quantum states

A golden-colored quantum computing chip sits at the center of a metallic, circular vacuum chamber.

To generate magic states suitable for fault-tolerant quantum computing, scientists used Quantinuum's H2 quantum processor (shown inside an ultra-high vacuum chamber) as well as the company's H1 processor (not shown).
