IBM researchers have recently announced a breakthrough in quantum computing that could lead to reliable and useful answers. This breakthrough could potentially allow for new kinds of calculations in areas such as battery research, medicines, and more. The current versions of quantum computers are prone to errors, which disturb the quantum bits, but the new method devised by IBM researchers could help manage the unreliability. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have all recently expressed their belief in the potential of a “ChatGPT moment” for their respective industries, leading to the question of whether a similar moment is coming for quantum computing.
