To improve error correction, multiple entangled physical qubits are grouped together to create logical qubits.
Given that, reducing the number of physical qubits per logical qubit is important.
Sheir Yarkoni, director of quantum software for Qarakal Quantum, told The Next Platform that the startup’s new Pangaea architecture will reduce the physical qubit requirements by 10 times.
“High-rate qLDPC codes change that arithmetic by encoding multiple logical qubits in one block while keeping each stabilizer check sparse.
In addition, the workflow that was compiled ensure two distinct logical qubit owners within a single encoded block.

Organizations around the world now have access to quantum computing but almost all of them simply rent time on someone else’s machine, typically through a cloud account with one of a handful of hardware providers.
In February 2026, my team at the Technology Innovation Institute’s Quantum Research Centre opened cloud access to superconducting quantum processing units (QPUs), including QPUs we designed and fabricated in-house at our Quantum Computing Hardware Lab in Abu Dhabi.
This is part of why a growing number of governments now treat quantum hardware capability as a strategic asset, alongside the more familiar conversation about quantum-safe cryptography.
What has changed is more basic: the set of institutions capable of building and operating real quantum hardware, however modest in scale, at all, is no longer limited to the handful of companies that dominate the headlines.
The next meaningful milestone in quantum computing may not be a new qubit record.

The study estimates that current quantum computing capability must increase about 100,000-fold to reach the scientific workloads examined.
The new benchmark also indicates that future quantum computers will need a significant performance boost — in the 100,000-fold range — to tackle high-value scientific problems.
The Quantum Universal Operations Performance System, or QUOPS, measures the largest useful-sized test circuit a quantum computer can run above a set accuracy threshold.
The second measurement, represented by the Greek letter omega, records the effective number of quantum operations completed per second at that point.
Quantinuum said QUOPS is not intended to replace component measurements, application-specific tests or benchmarks for quantum systems linked to high-performance computers.

Instead of starting with fragile quantum sources, they begin with bright, classical light, the kind produced by everyday lasers, and use clever photon-counting techniques to reveal hidden quantum behavior inside it.
Their breakthrough, published in Advanced Science, shows how ordinary light can be harnessed to perform robust quantum information processing at room temperature.
Bright classical light contains vast numbers of photons, but the number reaching a detector fluctuates naturally from one measurement to the next.
Each event corresponded to a different multiphoton quantum system hidden within the classical light field.
Instead of fragile, expensive setups, researchers may build robust platforms that exploit the quantum behavior already lurking in ordinary light.
