Quantinuum Reports Error-Correction Advance as Bitcoin Security Debate Grows
Edited by Steinar Vigdel Kolnes, Editor, Oslo
Quantinuum says it achieved 99.9995% logical fidelity, advancing its quantum computing plans amid concerns over future risks to cryptocurrency security.
Quantum computing company Quantinuum says it has reached a record logical fidelity of 99.9995% in an error-correction breakthrough. The reported result marks progress in its effort to build more reliable quantum computers.
The company says the achievement supports its target of developing a commercially viable, fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029. That timeline remains a company goal rather than a confirmed delivery date.
The announcement comes as quantum computing advances draw attention to potential long-term risks for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Sufficiently powerful quantum machines could eventually threaten the cryptography they rely on, but the reported milestone does not itself establish an ability to compromise those systems.
