Today we share a major milestone in fault-tolerant quantum computing: Our researchers have successfully demonstrated the industry’s first end-to-end real-time decoder capable of decoding a large-scale universal fault-tolerant quantum computer. Moreover, it runs on a single standard off-the-shelf central processing unit (CPU). This is a path to more cost-effective quantum systems at scale and millions of operations without slowing down the execution of quantum applications.
