Description
Iceberg Quantum, a Sydney, Australia-based startup, recently announced the release of Pinnacle, its fault tolerant quantum computing (QC) architecture that uses low density parity check (LDPC) error correcting codes to reportedly reduce physical-to-logical qubit overhead by an order of magnitude over surface codes, the currently favored error correction scheme. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Pinnacle architecture, their developers showed that 2048-bit RSA integers, the basis for most modern encryption schemes, could be factored with less than 100,000 physical qubits instead of the one million qubit requirement generally cited in current research literature.
