Quantum state in physical terms
News on logical and physical qubits
By combining the capabilities of artificial intelligence, the cloud, and quantum computing, Microsoft is forging a new paradigm in computing. The Microsoft Azure Quantum Computation Platform allows for seamless execution of quantum applications that use hardware across a variety of qubit architectures and processors by integrating with cloud HPC and AI.
Atomic Systems
Over the last year, they haven't stopped announcing new collaborations and improvements in an attempt to achieve the platform's goal. These include advancing the industry toward trustworthy quantum computing by exhibiting extremely dependable logical qubits and offering Accelerated DFT and Generative Chemistry. This strong compute foundation provides a safe, unified, and scalable hybrid computing environment that allows innovators to develop best-in-class solutions to problems that are difficult or even impossible for conventional computers to tackle.
The Azure quantum control, processing, and error correction software, capabilities for multi-modal AI models, developer tools, copilot-assisted workflows, and conventional supercomputing are being combined with quantum hardware designs from ecosystem partners. This diverse computing architecture will enable the next wave of hybrid applications. AI co-reasoning will assist in deciphering problems and turning them into processes by using both classical and scaled quantum tools at the right stages to provide important insights in an iterative loop that will cut R&D and time-to-solution into days, not years.
Quantum Computer in Quantinuum
Preserving Quantinuum's reliable quantum computing implementation
Today, Atom Computing and Quantinuum are happy to report that the greatest-performing logical qubits ever recorded and the greatest number of entangled logical qubits have been shown. They were able to create 12 logical qubits for Quantinuum's 56 physical qubits H2 machine by optimizing and expediting Azure's physical qubits virtualization technique.
The greater error-correcting capabilities of Microsoft are shown by this breakthrough. In less than six months, their improved qubit-virtualization approach improved the countability of logical qubits. Furthermore, when they were entangled in a complex state required for "deeper" quantum computation, all 12 logical qubits demonstrated a 22X improvement in circuit error rate over the corresponding physical qubits.

The ability of Azure systems to more than triple the number of logical qubits while more than doubling the number of physical qubits (from 30 to 56) is proof of the robustness and all-to-all connection of their H-Series trapped-ion technology. With the help of Microsoft's qubit-virtualization technology and its current H2-1 hardware, we are able to fully move our customers and ourselves into Level 2 robust quantum computing. Together with Azure Quantum's state-of-the-art AI and HPC capabilities, this solid alliance will allow for even further advancements.
Microsoft's biggest challenge in the pursuit of using quantum computers to enhance science and business is still noise. As they noted in a previous article, substantial quantum error correction is not possible with only extra physical qubits. Atom computing, being a part of the quantum environment, must continue to focus on logical qubit counts and fidelity enhancements to have a solid foundation for producing meaningful results.
This will be possible with advancements in both software and hardware, enabling more stable and long-running quantum applications. The announcement provided today demonstrates that obtaining these fundamental abilities is a realistic step toward large-scale quantum computing.
A true paradigm change in computing also necessitates making lucrative and beneficial applications a priority. They had successfully completed a chemical simulation in the first end-to-end workflow, which included using logical qubit computing, AI, and HPC to estimate the ground state energy for a specific catalyst problem.

This presentation was an important first step toward a new generation of hybrid applications that will become more prominent as a result of the scalability of quantum technology. Microsoft scientists have shown the transformative potential of this combo, predicting that quantum and AI will have the first significant impact on scientific advancements. This effort was only made possible by Azure's solid and continuing relationship with Quantinuum, a company that is still at the forefront of quantum computing.
Recent developments in logical qubits and the technical details of a Microsoft and Quantinuum-created end-to-end chemical simulation. They have produced twelve logical qubits altogether.
Quantum Atomic Computing
Presenting Atom Computing's upcoming enterprise
Lastly, Atom Computing and Microsoft Azure are excited to be collaborating to provide customers a new generation of trustworthy quantum hardware. By fusing Microsoft's enhanced qubit-virtualization architecture with Atom Computing's neutral-atom technology, they are optimizing the system to enable trustworthy quantum computation. They have created logical qubits together. Taking everything into account, they believe that this new commercial device will be the most powerful quantum machine ever created, able to scale beyond the boundaries of science.
Among the many features that make Atom Computing's hardware special are large numbers of high-fidelity qubits, all-to-all qubit connections, long coherence times, and mid-circuit measurements with qubit reset and reuse. These features are essential for expanding quantum error correction. The company's second generation devices have around 1,200 physical qubits; with each new hardware generation, it hopes to tenfold that figure.
Because Microsoft uses cutting-edge fault-tolerance protocols on alternative qubit architectures, its Microsoft Azure Quantum computation platform can offer clients flexibility and future-proof their investments by delivering a range of best-in-class logical qubits across several hardware platforms.
With neutral-atom hardware and tailored qubit virtualization, Microsoft and Atom Computing are enhancing the Azure Quantum processing platform. This makes it possible to build a commercial discovery suite that can be updated over time to include additional logical qubits.
