IBM cuts quantum error rates 10x as computer completes hard task in 15 minutes

SMRTR summary

IBM and University of Chicago researchers ran a complex quantum computation in 15 minutes that classical computers couldn't practically reproduce or verify. Using 70 error-corrected qubits, they cut error rates by 10 times, while also proving the results were accurate, a major step toward trustworthy, real-world quantum computing.
