The full-stack quantum platform and foundry IonQ announced that it has achieved a major milestone in the field of fault-tolerant quantum computing. The researchers demonstrated the development and successful testing of the industry's first end-to-end real-time quantum error correction decoder running on a single standard off-the-shelf central processor. Nicolas Delfosse, head of quantum research at IonQ and co-author of the paper, said, “Successfully verifying real-time decoding of hundreds of logical qubits and millions of logic operations is an important milestone. Furthermore, the fact that our decoder runs on a single CPU provides a practical path for commercial-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation.”
