Summary

Story summary

Quantum Art announced on June 16 2026 that its trapped-ion multi-qubit gate architecture reaches a 1 % fault-tolerance threshold.
Simulations using a microscopic Mølmer-Sørensen noise model show errors stay local within gate connectivity.
Logical error rates fall as the system scales, matching surface-code Pauli-channel requirements.
CTO Dr. Amit Ben-Kish said the results back the 1,000-qubit Perspective platform and cut circuit depth and hardware size by orders of magnitude.
