Microsoft and Atom Computing, a technology firm based in California, recently announced a breakthrough in quantum computing that could pave the way for a proof-of-work transformation in the world of block-chain mining.
Scientists and engineers from the two companies developed a quantum computing system made up of 24 entangled logical qubits produced by just 80 physical qubits a feat that sets a new record for the highest number of entangled logical qubits achieved using error correction techniques.
