Research from Caltech and Oratomic have developed a new approach for reducing the errors that riddle today’s rudimentary quantum computers. Whereas these machines were previously thought to require millions of qubits to work properly, the new results indicate that a fully realized quantum computer could be built with as few as 10,000 to 20,000 qubits.The need for fewer qubits means that quantum computers could, in theory, be operational by the end of the decade.

The new scheme means that each logical qubit could be encoded with as few as five or so physical qubits, as opposed to the 1,000 needed with other techniques. More broadly, as these systems scale to thousands of logical qubits performing millions of operations, they are expected to enable a wide range of applications with major scientific and economic impact.
