The milestone makes it possible for a single standard computer processor to find, fix and decode computer errors as they happen, as it runs continuously in the background. The successful test stands to alleviate a significant industry bottleneck in which previous systems became easily overwhelmed in fixing errors, leading to delays.

So its a quantum leap?

Thank goodness we are only racing the Chinese. Everyday the Russians are locked in 20th Century meat grinder they fall further behind. Every time the UKe freedom fighters take another bite out of Vlad’s energy economy the fall behind increases exponentially. Better hurry President Putin, you are becoming irrelevant.

This functionality has always existed but previously it reduced CPU & io performance to a crawll.

This functionality of finding and correcting mistakes could be narrow or broad.

As a narrow function it could be a glorified spell checker.

Or it could look for misstatements of objective fact, eg the zip code, city, county, state of an address.

Or it could go even further and correct the work of an employee who made statements contrary to the position of the company on an issue.

Or it could enhance and add data to a message.
The original might say “There are 3 examples of this”.
That might be expanded to “Here are 5 examples of this”.

Quantum Computing plus AI...

Should we be thrilled or moderately terrified?

I’m trying to make sense of this technobabble.

What errors is it trying to fix? Checksum style errors where the hardware itself is returning errors because of quantum “flux”?

(Older CPUs could get things like EMF noise causing a disruption of the electrical field around the chip and possibly causing circuitry to be energized or not thus changing “values” in the system.
