The Global Race To Make a Practical Quantum Computer Just Took a Big Leap Forward
TL;DRScientists built the largest trapped-ion quantum computer yet with 98 qubits.
Why it matters: More stable qubits mean quantum computers move closer to solving real-world problems businesses actually care about.
It's "radically different from other quantum computers" reports Phys.org. The Helios system uses trapped ions — charged atoms suspended in free space using electromagnetic fields. But it operates with 98 qubits — making it the largest trapped-ion quantum computer built so far.…
