This team effort converges expertise to leverage quantum computing for an important, practical outcome.”— Marco Cerezo,

Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new approach for reducing the errors that riddle today's rudimentary quantum computers.

Quantum computing research is evolving fast, but there a significant doubts if these devices will be relevant to the average company.
