And as of today, the lowest physical Qubit error rate so far was 10^-6, one error per million operations, achieved by researchers in Sydney Australia. The better the physical Qubit is, the fewer of them you need to make a near perfect logical Qubit, and I have no doubt that over time both physical Qubits and quantum error correcting algorithms will get better, but I don't know how much time or how much better.* John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> eqq > > While adopting new algorithms will secure future communications, anyone > with the capacity to intercept and record messages now can hold on to them > until the time large scale quantum computers can be developed to break the > old encryption.
