Nvidia has simulated a 104-qubit quantum computer that can correct its own errors, using JUPITER, the supercomputer at Germany’s Jülich Supercomputing Centre. The company said it is the largest full simulation of such a machine so far.
Qubits are the building blocks of quantum computers, but they’re extremely sensitive to interference. Even small amounts of noise from the control equipment can cause errors.
A fault-tolerant quantum computer can detect and correct those errors while running. Most…
