A team at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has reached a new milestone in quantum computing: a functioning system with 6,100 qubits. These are so-called neutral-atom qubits held in place by optical “tweezers.” It is the most extensive and most stable qubit array ever built. For the global quantum community, this is considered a breakthrough: for the first time, scalability is being combined with high accuracy and long coherence.| iNSnet
