One half of the Physics World 2024 Breakthrough of the Year has been awarded to Mikhail Lukin, Dolev Bluvstein and colleagues at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and QuEra Computing for <a href="https://physicsworld.com/a/quantum-processor-integrates-48-logical-qubits/">demonstrating quantum error correction on an atomic processor with 48 logical qubits</a>.
In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast, Bluvstein and Lukin explain the crucial role that error correction is playing in the development of practical quantum computers. They also describe how atoms are moved around their quantum processor and why this coordinated motion allowed them to create logical qubits and use those qubits to perform quantum computations.
The Physics World 2024 Breakthrough of the Year also cites <a href="https://research.google/people/hartmutneven/">Hartmut Neven</a> and colleagues at <a href="https://quantumai.google/">Google Quantum AI</a> and their collaborators for <a href="https://physicsworld.com/a/quantum-processor-enters-unprecedented-territory-for-error-correction/">implementing quantum error correction below the surface code threshold</a> in a superconducting chip. Neven talks about his team’s accomplishments <a href="https://physicsworld.com/a/hartmut-neven-talks-about-google-quantum-ais-breakthrough-in-quantum-error-correction/">in this podcast</a>.
