\u201cToday, we\u2019re really at this foundational implementation level,\u201d Svore said. We have noisy intermediate-scale quantum machines. They\u2019re built around physical qubits and they\u2019re not yet reliable enough to do something practical and advantageous in terms of something useful. For science or for the commercial industry. The next level we need to get to as an industry is the resilient level. We need to be able to operate not just with physical qubits but we need to take those physical qubits and put them into an error-correcting code and use them as a unit to serve as a logical qubit.\u201d Svore argues that to reach this point, it\u2019ll take a quantum computer that can perform those one million reliable quantum operations per second and a failure rate of one per trillion operations.<\/p>\n
