41 7 Full Breakdown

Summary

Story summary

IBM reported October 24, 2025 that it ran a key error-correction algorithm on AMD FPGA chips, a step toward practical quantum systems.
The algorithm detects and corrects errors in real time on hardware rather than expensive custom components.
Jay Gambetta, IBM's VP of Quantum, said the implementation is ten times faster than required.
IBM aims to build its Starling quantum computer by 2029, with milestone a year ahead of schedule.
