Quantinuum Achieves 99.9995% Quantum Fidelity
Quantinuum's quantum computer outperforms Google's by 100x in error correction.
In brief
Quantinuum's quantum computer outperforms Google's by 100x in error correction. Quantinuum's Helios quantum computer achieves 99.9995% logical fidelity, 100 times better than Google's best result. Originally reported by BigGo Finance.
Quantinuum Helios Result
Quantinuum's Helios trapped-ion quantum computer reached 99.9995% logical fidelity, a tenfold improvement over its September record.
Error Correction Improvement
The result is 100 times better than Google Quantum AI's best published figure from competing hardware.
Code Distance Scaling
Each increase in code distance cut remaining errors by a factor of 12, showing error suppression scalability.
Apollo Target
Quantinuum's fault-tolerant machine Apollo is targeted for completion in 2029.
Financial Performance
Quantinuum reported $8 million in second-quarter revenue and $2.1 billion in cash after its IPO.
Error Correction Scheme
Quantinuum used a color code requiring up to 37 physical qubits per logical qubit for error correction.
Expert Assessment
Sandia National Laboratories' Robin Blume-Kohout called the result a milestone for quantum error correction.
Resource Efficiency
Quantinuum estimates a future machine could support 100 protected logical qubits with 30,000 physical qubits.
What matters most
Quantinuum's Helios quantum computer achieves 99.9995% logical fidelity, 100 times better than Google's best result.
