Qubits, the quantum equivalent of digital bits, are fragile and prone to errors. That makes building reliable quantum computers extremely difficult. One fix has been to use traditional magic state ...

Quantum computers have an inconvenient problem: they're magnificently efficient at making mistakes. These marvelous machines ...

A quibit in a magic state is prepared in a very specific blend of the states 0 and 1 (occupying a mixture of states is a specialty of quantum computers). Fed into a calculation, it is used up to ...

Google has found a way to cut errors in preparing quantum “magic states” 40-fold using a technique called magic state ...

Making quantum computers fault-tolerant (and scaling effective error correction to enable this) is a key barrier to a new era of quantum supremacy. A new study ...

In the context of quantum mechanics and information, "magic" is a key property of quantum states that describes the extent to which they deviate from so-called stabilizer states. Stabilizer states are ...

Computer Magic’s dreamy, synth-pop track “Dimensions” just got an aptly fitting music video. Off her Obscure But Visible EP, the song is the lead track and it’s nothing if not ethereal. The spacey, ...
