The company's researchers demonstrated that an algorithm designed to correct quantum computing errors could run in real time on an AMD field programmable gate array, or FPGA. These chips are commonly used in data centers and can be programmed for different tasks.

The Willow processor runs the first verifiable algorithm with real-world applications, marking a shift from theory to practical quantum computing.

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer.

IBM has reportedly found that it can run a key quantum computing algorithm on an easy-to-get and reasonably priced chip made by Advanced Micro Devices.

IBM said on Friday it can run a key quantum computing error correction algorithm on commonly available chips from Advanced Micro Devices, a step toward commercializing super-powerful computers. The U.
