Quantum research connects error mitigation and correction
TOP PROJECT / TECH JOURNAL · IBM
Source published: 2026-09-15 · Editorial digest
IBM discusses a continuum between quantum error mitigation and error correction. The research perspective examines hybrid techniques and the overhead required to obtain useful circuit results. It encourages evaluating practical computational capability alongside logical-qubit counts. This is progress in methods and architecture, not an announcement that general-purpose fault-tolerant quantum computing has already been achieved.
