Researchers from QuTech, in collaboration with Fujitsu and Element Six, have demonstrated the fault-tolerant operation of a quantum bit using a quantum processor based on spin qubits in diamond. Future large-scale quantum computers must be fault tolerant, so that reliable computations can be performed with noisy components. This result opens the door to experimentally exploring the concepts of fault-tolerant quantum computation. The research has been published in Nature.
