Invited Talk: Welcome to Quantum 3.0!
summary
Claims that 2024 experiments achieve small but real error suppression (logical error ≈ 0.1% logical error) and that current work produces only a few logical qubits, with community goals at 10^-6 and system estimates ranging from a hopeful 100 physical per logical to pessimistic 1,000; Shor-scale factoring still cites ~20 million physical qubits. Work focuses on a software stack that compiles to a fault-tolerant gate set, adds massive error‑correction code, optimizes circuits (Quartz reports ~29% gate reductions), and verifies correctness; concrete problems: conditional compilation, connectivity‑aware swap insertion, and two‑qubit gate lower bounds (five gates optimal).
