It can’t yet run the lucrative chemistry simulations or financial algorithms that quantum investors dream about. The team built a fully functioning quantum chip to validate the performance of their new qubit, clearing major obstacles to efficient error correction and scaling for industrial systems. The scientists claim this is the most powerful quantum computer in the world, after it passed a series of benchmark experiments.

This is fewer physical qubits than needed in recent quantum computers made of superconducting circuits
In 2024, google used 105 physical qubits to create a logical qubit.
