Summary

A 120-qubit superconducting processor forms distance-three and distance-five surface codes, then entangles logical qubits through lattice surgery.

The team reports logical error per round below one percent in selected codes, Bell-state fidelity above 93 percent and logical teleportation fidelities from 78 to 93 percent. Component selection and noise-informed decoding are part of the demonstrated stack.

Why it matters
