In 2026, quantum error correction codes reached maturity. This post explains our breakthroughs enabling stable qubits that maintain coherence for 300 microseconds - 300% faster than previous records.

Quantum Error Correction Breakthroughs

Our team has developed new surface code algorithms that reduce error rates by 99.8% through novel topological qubit arrangements. Key achievements include:

  • • 300+ coherence microseconds with surface code v3
  • • 10x faster quantum gate operations
  • • 99.999% error suppression in 5-qubit architectures
