Sep 10, 2025 neutral
Assertion Open · timeframe Dec 2032
Achieving 1,000 error-corrected logical qubits will require roughly 7 million physical qubits
“The goal would be to get to a thousand error corrected qubits, right? But just from that perspective, that's going to be around seven million physical qubits to do that.”
