Four Interlocking Walls: Why Scaling Quantum Computers Beyond 100 Qubits Is a Systemic Problem, Not a Parts Count

Scaling quantum computers beyond a few hundred qubits is a systemic problem, not just a parts count issue. Four interdependent challenges—qubit fragility, error correction, control complexity, and interconnectivity—must be addressed holistically for progress.

How Quantum Error Correction Paves the Way for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computers

Quantum error correction is essential for building reliable, large-scale quantum computers by encoding information across multiple physical qubits to detect and correct errors caused by noise and imperfections. This foundational technique paves the way for fault-tolerant quantum computing, enabling complex calculations beyond the capabilities of current NISQ devices.
