OXFORD — A coalition of leading academic and industrial research labs has demonstrated the world’s first fault-tolerant 1,000-qubit quantum processor capable of executing continuous error correction while simulating complex biochemical enzyme kinetics.

Quantum Leap
Milestone
  • Achieves 99.94% two-qubit gate fidelity with dynamic surface-code topological error correction.
  • Simulated complete nitrogenase catalytic reaction in under 4 minutes of coherent execution.
  • Paves the way for room-temperature catalyst development for agricultural fertilizers and carbon capture.
