By linking two such devices and performing calculations beyond the capabilities of either alone, IBM has taken a major step forward on the path to larger and more powerful quantum computers. The results are a positive sign that the company's bet on a modular approach to scaling up quantum computers is viable.
Quantum computers are expected to be able to solve certain problems much faster than traditional devices, but major hurdles still remain, such as making the computers large enough while reducing errors. Different research groups and companies are taking different approaches…
