Quantinuum’s System Model H2 enabled Microsoft’s qubit-virtualization system to generate the most reliable logical qubits ever recorded, a breakthrough with wide ranging implications for everyone in quantum computing, accelerating progress and challenging current assumptions about the timeline toward large scale reliable quantum computing.

Quantinuum and Microsoft have announced a vital breakthrough in quantum computing that Microsoft described as “a major achievement for the entire quantum ecosystem.”

By combining Microsoft’s innovative qubit-virtualization system with the unique architectural features and fidelity of Quantinuum’s System Model H2 quantum computer, our teams have demonstrated the most reliable logical qubits on record with logical circuit error rates 800 times lower than the corresponding physical circuit error rates.

This achievement is not just monumental for Quantinuum and Microsoft, but it is a major advancement for the entire quantum ecosystem. It is a crucial milestone on the path to building a hybrid supercomputing system that can truly transform research and innovation across many industries for decades to come. It also further bolsters H2’s title as the highest performing quantum computer in the world.
