Qubits are the basic units of quantum information, and increasing their number signals that the field is moving beyond laboratory prototypes. The race produced steadily larger processors, but it is widely believed that increasingly fitting a significant number of qubits onto a single chip will eventually run into a wall that physics and manufacturing impose together. Beyond a certain size, fabricating a flawless [...]
