Unlocking the Potential of Quantum Computing- Google Developers Blog
Dec 9, 2024Austin Fowler

Summary
This post details the construction of a quantum chip using the surface code, demonstrating that logical qubits increase in reliability by over a factor of two with each increase in patch size. It explains the nature of quantum errors (bit-flip, leakage, and phase-flip) and how they are detected and compensated for using measure qubits arranged in a 2D array. The post also highlights the free Coursera course on quantum error correction and the open-source Quantum AI tools (Cirq, Stim, Crumble) for further learning and contribution.
