1,000x Speedup: Scientists Just Broke Through a Major Quantum Computing Bottleneck

A theoretical shortcut could speed up certain operations on protected quantum states by more than a thousand times, giving disturbances less time to corrupt information. Before quantum computers can help discover drugs or improve energy systems, they need to carry out calculations reliably.
