According to @ai_darpa, researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have significantly advanced quantum computing by employing rapid microwave pulses to correct leakage errors in superconducting qubits. This method cut error rates by over 70 times without requiring new hardware components, enabling robust error correction on a large-scale 107-qubit chip. This breakthrough paves the way for more reliable and commercially viable quantum computers, accelerating the path to quantum advantage and enhancing the potential for AI applications that demand unprecedented computational power (Source: @ai_darpa, Dec 30, 2025).
