Paris-based quantum computing startup Alice & Bob has announced a stunning breakthrough in quantum computing: its qubits can now resist bit-flip errors for more than an hour. New quantum computing architectures, like IBM’s Starling quantum computer that is scheduled to be built in 2029, solve the error correction problem via smarter detection technology, but longer-lived qbits solves the problem at the source. Today’s quantum computers make an error every 100 or 1,000 operations, Alice & Bob CEO Théau Peronnin told me in a TechFirst podcast last year. Without long-lasting qubits or massive error correction, therefore, quantum computers are “basically noise generating machines,” he said. This results in a requirement for millions of physical qubits to make thousands of logical qubits: error-corrected quantum computing components. “We find a way to directly embed by design error correction within the qubit, within the physical system that hosts quantum information,” Peronnin says.

Quantum computing breaktrhroughs including new hardware, smarter algorithms, and clearer signs of “quantum advantage,” bring once-theoretical machines closer to real-world use. The field has been plagued from day one by the fact that [quantum computers](https://www.discovermagazine.com/new-microsoft-quantum-computing-chip-could-revolutionize-the-industry-47150) are inherently unstable. Decoherence leads to computational errors, so error correction is the central challenge of [quantum computing](https://www.discovermagazine.com/quantum-computers-are-physicists-latest-tools-for-discovering-quantum-43673). **Read More:** [Quantum Computing Approach Generates First Ever Truly Random Number](https://www.discovermagazine.com/quantum-computing-approach-generates-first-ever-truly-random-number-47334). The ultimate goal for [quantum computing](https://www.discovermagazine.com/quantum-communication-milestone-could-pave-way-for-faster-more-secure-47459), of course, is to solve problems beyond the reach of classical computers. After several tantalizing decades, Aaronson added, quantum computers are beginning to perform “like the theory said [they] would 30 years ago.”. * This article references information from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): [Quantum Computing Explained](https://www.nist.gov/quantum-information-science/quantum-computing-explained). * This article references information from a study published in *Nature*: [Quantum error correction below the surface code threshold](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08449-y). * This article references information from a study published in *arXiv*: Helios: [A 98-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer](https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.05465).

Google has claimed a breakthrough in quantum computing after developing an algorithm that performed a task beyond the capabilities of conventional computers. Google acknowledged, however, that real-world use of quantum computers remained years away. “This is the first time in history that any quantum computer has successfully run a verifiable algorithm that surpasses the ability of supercomputers,” Google said in a blogpost. “It’s important to understand the task Google has achieved is not quite as revolutionary as some of the world-changing applications that are anticipated for quantum computers,” Hensinger said. Hartmut Neven, a vice-president of engineering at Google, said real-world use of quantum computers might be five years away despite the breakthrough with the algorithm, which the US tech company has called quantum echoes. “With quantum echoes we continue to be optimistic that within five years we’ll see real-world applications that are possible only on quantum computers,” he said.
