Qubit News from Alice & Bob, Diraq, and Quantinuum – The Futurum Group
“In recent weeks, quantum computing companies Alice & Bob, Diraq, and Quantinuum have each made announcements that advance the state of the art in qubits in different ways. Alice & Bob touted its paper in Nature, demonstrating significantly improved times between bit-flip errors. Diraq announced 99.9% 1-qubit silicon quantum dot control accuracy using standard CMOS materials in a semiconductor foundry. Quantinuum advanced its flagship H2 system from 32 to 56 qubits, passing the point where gate-and-circuit simulation via state vectors is feasible.”

“The initiative is focused on solving a complex computational challenge to find the optimal architecture of electrical and mechanical systems. This problem involves defining the optimal combination of components, from electrical engines and batteries to coolers, and how these should be connected. The goal of this project is to enhance efficiency and reduce energy waste, which can result – among other things – in the increased efficiency of electric vehicles.”
