A critical challenge preventing quantum computing from reaching its enormous potential is the noise that affects qubits, corrupting computations before reaching the desired results.

Key Points: 
  • A critical challenge preventing quantum computing from reaching its enormous potential is the noise that affects qubits, corrupting computations before reaching the desired results.
  • Quantum error correction overcomes these limitations by creating “logical qubits," groups of physical qubits that are entangled to store information redundantly.
  • This new work demonstrates quantum error correction in 48 logical qubits, enhancing computational stability and reliability while addressing the error problem.
  • Realization of 48 small logical qubits that were used to execute complex algorithms, surpassing the performance of the same algorithms when executed with physical qubits.

As part of this program, UNICEF has approved Stirling's upright SU780XLE freezers and first-of-its-kind, portable UL25NEU freezer models for country specific selection.

Key Points: 
  • As part of this program, UNICEF has approved Stirling's upright SU780XLE freezers and first-of-its-kind, portable UL25NEU freezer models for country specific selection.
  • Remote communities where electric utilities infrastructures are underdeveloped will continue to struggle to effectively store vaccines.
  • The stringent temperature requirements of leading COVID-19 vaccines further constrain the ability for distribution and healthcare workers struggle to safely store vaccines.
  • The freezers are also shippable via air freight, shortening the time it takes to deliver the freezers to these isolated locations.
