After AI, quantum computing eyes its 'Sputnik' moment

Quantum computing is poised for a major breakthrough, akin to a “Sputnik” moment, with significant advancements expected within a few years. Cambridge-based Riverlane has developed a quantum decoder chip to address error correction, a critical hurdle for quantum computing. The technology promises transformative impacts in drug development, climate change, and material efficiency. Riverlane’s recent $75 million funding will help scale systems to perform millions of error-free operations, making quantum computers more effective than conventional ones for complex tasks.
