A Qubit…Quantum computers offer enormous potential to solve certain complex problems that are impossible for conventional computers, but this power depends on harnessing extremely fleeting behaviors of subatomic particles…

…These computing behaviors are so ephemeral that even looking in on them to check for errors can cause the whole system to collapse…

…Researchers have discovered a new method for correcting errors in the calculations of quantum computers, potentially clearing a major obstacle to a powerful new realm of computing…
