Google’s quantum Willow chip may be able to grow ‘magic states’

A quibit in a magic state is prepared in a very specific blend of the states 0 and 1 (occupying a mixture of states is a specialty of quantum computers). Fed into a calculation, it is used up to ...

Google uses “magic” to cut quantum computing errors

Google has found a way to cut errors in preparing quantum “magic states” 40-fold using a technique called magic state ...

The era of growing, not distilling, 'magic states' in quantum computers—Google's experiment reduces errors by a factor of 40

What matters more than the number of qubitsIn discussions about quantum computers, we tend to focus on the number of qubits.
