Harvard and DARPA create the first circuit with logical qubits, revolutionizing quantum computing possibilities.

A team of Harvard scientists working on a project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum computing.

Researchers working with the Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (ONISQ) program say they have created the world’s first quantum circuit using logical quantum bits (qubits). The innovation marks a significant stride towards fault-tolerant quantum computing, promising to revolutionize the design of quantum computer processors.

    So, can it crack public keys?

      Almost certainly not yet. But sooner than I’d like. There’s a ton of encrypted comms that have been vacuumed up by state and private actors who are just waiting for quantum computers to get good enough to crack them.
