Quantinuum has set a new quantum error-correction world record by achieving a logical fidelity of 99.9995% on its Helios commercial computer. The resulting error rate of just five errors per million operations is 10 times lower than Quantinuum’s previous record set in September and 100 times lower than other industry modalities. Utilizing an advanced color code within its end-to-end architecture, the breakthrough proves that logical errors decrease exponentially as code distance increases. The performance metrics place Quantinuum directly on target for its upcoming Apollo universal fault-tolerant quantum computer planned for release by 2029. Independent experts note the achievement successfully demonstrates that logical qubits can be made significantly more reliable than underlying physical components, addressing a core risk in scaling quantum systems.
