A decade ago, the idea of a working quantum computing system seemed far-fetched to most of us.
But theres still a lot of work to be done.

The short and long of it is that quantum computing promises to do away with our current computational limits.
What this means is up to the individual use case.
Most of us dont need quantum computers because our day-to-day problems arent that difficult.
The solution:Noisy qubits are the quantum computer engineers current bane.
In the experimental phases, solving noisy qubits was largely a game of Wack-a-mole.
But, these days, the field has advanced quite a bit.
The art of error mitigation has evolved from targeted one-off solutions to a full suite of techniques.
These errors limit the depth of the quantum circuit that we can implement.
However, even for shallow circuits, noise can lead to faulty estimates.
He explained that the techniques being touted in the new press release were already in production.
The bottom line is that quantum computers are here, and they work.
IBMs new error mitigation strategy signals a change from the discovery phase of fault-tolerance solutions to implementation.
We tip our hats to the IBM quantum research team.
