Microsoft announces that it has created 12 logical quantum bits, bringing quantum computing closer to practical use
In order to put quantum computers into practical use, technology to mass-produce logical quantum bits with excellent error tolerance is being developed. Microsoft has recently succeeded in creating 12 highly reliable logical quantum bits.

The basic unit of information in a quantum computer is the qubit. Qubits are easily affected by the surrounding environment and prone to errors, so improving error tolerance is a major challenge in putting quantum computers to practical use.
One approach to increasing the error tolerance of quantum bits is to use multiple physical quantum bits to represent one logical quantum bit. Microsoft continues to research the stable construction of logical quantum bits, and in April 2024 announced that it had created four of the most reliable logical quantum bits in history at once.
Microsoft recently announced that it has collaborated with quantum computer developer Quantinuum to create 12 'highly reliable logical qubits.' The logical qubits were created using Quantinuum's quantum computer system 'H2.'
Quantinuum aims to develop a 'quantum computer system capable of creating more than 100 logical qubits' by 2029. Microsoft says that building a supercomputer with 100 'reliable logical qubits' would enable scientific results, while building a supercomputer with 1,000 would
Microsoft also announced that it is collaborating with quantum computer developer
Microsoft and Atom Computing are continuing to research and develop quantum computing systems to improve their performance, with the goal of increasing the number of logical qubits that can be created by a factor of ten with each generation of systems.
