Google Quantum AI Willow chipPhoto: Google Quantum AIWhile classical computers (such as the one you’re likely using right now to read this glossary) use bits that represent 0s and 1s, quantum computers use quantum bits — or qubits— which are usually electrons, photons, or another subatomic particles.Connected together, qubits have far more processing power than binary 0s and 1s.IBM (IBM), Rigetti Computing, and other companies working on quantum computing use superconducting circuits that are colder than deep space to generate and control qubits, according to MIT Technology Review. IonQ (IONQ), another quantum computing company, uses ultra-high-vacuum chambers where individual atoms are trapped in an electromagnetic field on a silicon chip.Quantum computers can generate and control qubits to perform computations. However, the more qubits that are used, the more errors typically occur in a computation. “Errors are one of the greatest challenges in quantum computing,” according to Hartmut Neven, founder and lead of Google Quantum AI, because they “have a tendency to rapidly exchange information with their environment, making it difficult to protect the information needed to complete a computation.”Google Willow’s ability to cut the error rate in half despite adding more qubits was a “historic accomplishment” known as “‘below threshold,’ or being able to drive errors down while scaling up the number of qubits,” Neven said.

Google simultaneously announced a technology for correcting quantum errors using multiple qubits in the scientific journal ‘Nature’ in 2023. Han Sang-wook, a chief researcher at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), said, “Having more qubits means that more variables can be processed simultaneously,” adding, “For example, if there are 1,000 qubits when predicting the weather, 1,000 variables can be calculated; if there are 10,000 qubits, the influence of 10,000 variables can be accounted for, thus improving computational accuracy.”

This increased awareness leads to higher expectations for personalized treatment plans and accurate diagnostics, driving the need for innovative solutions that quantum computing can provide. With these trends in mind, businesses must remain agile and responsive to the evolving dynamics of the market, focusing on integrating quantum technologies to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients alike.

Cleveland Clinic researchers are integrating quantum computing with machine learning to predict the most effective antibiotic treatment for urinary tract infections (UTIs). By integrating quantum computing, the team aims to refine these algorithms further, enhancing speed and accuracy, and enabling effective training on smaller datasets.

Once you’ve built a brand-new quantum computer chip, how do you test it to ensure that it works as intended?🔬 🤔 In this lab tour, Jerry M. Chow, IBM Fellow and Director of Quantum Systems, walks us through the IBM Quantum characterization lab, where quantum chips designed and built by IBM are tested before they’re deployed.🥶— We also meet IBM Quantum researcher Daniela Florentina Bogorin, who shows us the dilution refrigerator connected to these quantum chips during testing. Researchers use dilution refrigerators to cool superconducting quantum chips down to the ultra-cold temperatures they require for operation.Questions about the video?

From January 7 to 10 (local time), at the world’s largest IT exhibition ‘CES 2025’ in Las Vegas, quantum computing is emerging as the next-generation technology following artificial intelligence (AI). A day ahead of the opening, Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, who will give the first keynote speech at CES 2025, recently announced plans to collaborate with Google on next-generation quantum computing.

This development is part of the company’s ambitious roadmap to build quantum-centric supercomputers, a milestone that is set to redefine the future of computation and industry innovation. IBM’s new quantum computer, projected to feature over 4,000 qubits, is poised to be a monumental leap from current quantum computing capabilities.
