00:00IBM researchers and University of Chicago scientists have reached a major milestone in quantum computing.
00:06Their quantum computer completed a difficult calculation in about 15 minutes.
00:11But leading classical simulation methods would need an impractical amount of time to perform the same task.
00:16The experiment used 70 logical qubits.
00:19These are designed to protect quantum information from errors caused by noise.
00:24Researchers also completed 2004-15 logical two-qubit operations.
00:28The system also performed 468 logical T-gates.
00:33A key breakthrough was verification.
00:35Scientists developed a way to check how accurately the quantum computation was performed.
00:41The researchers say this addresses one of the biggest challenges in proving quantum advantage.
00:46The demonstration was announced on July 30, 2026.
00:50It could help make future quantum computers more reliable.
00:53And it may open the door to solving increasingly complex problems beyond the practical reach of classical computers.
