Microsoft and Quantinuum create 12 logical qubits(microsoft.com) Microsoft and Quantinuum applied Azure Quantum’s qubit-virtualization system to Quantinuum’s H2 trapped-ion quantum computer to create 12 highly reliable logical qubits. Additionally, the teams demonstrated the emerging capabilities of reliable quantum computing by using two logical qubits, integrated with an AI model and cloud high-performance computing (HPC), to accurately estimate the ground state energy of the active space of an important catalytic intermediate.
