A consortium of university labs and a major chipmaker unveiled a 1,024-qubit processor that maintains coherence long enough for practical error correction — a milestone the field has pursued for over a decade.
Implications for enterprise
Cloud giants are already negotiating early access. Analysts predict quantum-accelerated workloads for logistics, drug discovery, and cryptography could arrive before 2030.
Security experts urge organizations to begin migrating to post-quantum encryption standards now, rather than waiting for commercial deployments.
