Harvard and MIT scientists build 3,000-qubit quantum system for continuous operation

Harvard scientists unveiled a 3,000-qubit quantum system capable of continuous operation, a significant advancement for quantum computing. The system, detailed in Nature, ran for over two hours by continuously resupplying lost qubits using laser-based conveyor belts and tweezers, overcoming a major technical hurdle. This breakthrough, achieved in collaboration with MIT and QuEra Computing, paves the way for more powerful quantum computers that could revolutionize various scientific and technological fields.
