Record-Breaking Performance Achieved by Revolutionary Quantum Computing Chip
Scientists have achieved a major quantum computing breakthrough with the development of a compact physical qubit system that demonstrates unprecedented error correction capabilities. Nord Quantique, a Canadian startup, announced their revolutionary architecture that could enable quantum computers to solve problems 200 times faster than supercomputers while consuming 2,000 times less power.
The breakthrough addresses quantum computing’s biggest challenge – maintaining quantum information integrity over time. Traditional quantum systems require massive physical qubit arrays for error correction, but this new multimode encoding approach allows each qubit to self-correct without redundancy.
The researchers estimate their 1,000-logical-qubit machine would occupy just 215 square feet and consume only 120 kilowatt-hours to break 830-bit RSA encryption in one hour, compared to a supercomputer’s nine days and 280,000 kilowatt-hours.
The team plans to release this revolutionary quantum computer by 2031, marking what they call “a first in applied physics” that could transform cybersecurity, drug discovery, and scientific computing.
