•Researchers at UT Dallas have found that quantum error correction (QEC) codes form continuous families, challenging the previous understanding of discrete solutions.
•The study leveraged a sophisticated 'Stiefel manifold' optimization technique to map this continuous landscape of codes, including nonadditive ones, beyond traditional stabilizer codes.
•This breakthrough offers a unified framework for QEC and could significantly accelerate the development of more robust and effective strategies for building fault-tolerant quantum computers.
•QuEra achieved an unprecedented 1 error per trillion steps in quantum memory, a critical milestone for reliable quantum computing.
•The breakthrough demonstrates the creation of one reliable logical qubit using just over two physical qubits, significantly reducing hardware demands compared to traditional methods.
•Leveraging neutral atom platforms and co-designed error correction, this work brings the 'Teraquop regime' closer, paving the way for practical quantum algorithms.
