Key Facts: Scientific Breakthroughs and Research Publications One of the week’s most significant research advances came from a team at the University of California, Riverside, which demonstrated a new approach to scaling quantum computers via modular chips. In simulations, the researchers showed that several small quantum processor chips can be linked into a single fault-tolerant system even if the connections between chips are up to 10 times noisier than the chips themselves quantumcomputingreport.com. This finding is a major step toward larger quantum machines, indicating that “we don’t have to wait for perfect hardware to scale quantum computers” because high-fidelity chips
