3. How Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved reliable quantum computing

Microsoft and Quantinuum have achieved reliable quantum computing by applying an innovative qubit-virtualization system to ion-trap hardware. This allowed them to create four highly reliable logical qubits from only 30 physical qubits, demonstrating an 800x improvement in error rate.

Quantinuum's H-Series ion-trap qubits and unique Quantum Charged Coupled Device architecture have an excellent two-qubit gate fidelity of 99.8%. By applying Microsoft's qubit-virtualization system to Quantinuum's qubits, they were able to run 14,000 independent instances without a single error. This 800x improvement in error rate corresponds to a 29 dB improvement in signal.
