RARE PHOTOS: Microsoft makes major quantum computing breakthrough development of most stable qubits might actually make the technology viable for many but will anyone be able to afford it | Rare Historical Photos

Unlike traditional computing that uses binary bits, quantum computing uses quantum bits or 'qubits', enabling simultaneous processing of vast amounts of data, potentially solving complex problems much faster than conventional computers.

In a major step forward for quantum computing, Microsoft and Quantinuum have unveiled the most reliable logical qubits to date, boasting an error rate 800 times lower than physical qubits.
