To grasp the significance of this breakthrough, it’s essential to comprehend the inherent challenges facing current quantum computing technology. Conventional quantum computers utilize qubits—akin to the binary bits of traditional computing yet exponentially more complex, as qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This characteristic enables quantum computers to solve specific problems significantly faster than their classical counterparts. However, this capability is hampered by the extreme sensitivity of qubits. Even minor disturbances, such as heat or radiation, can lead to errors.
