The paper, "An entangling gate for dual-rail erasure qubits," details a new two-qubit entangling gate, a fundamental building block of quantum computation, designed to support efficient quantum error correction. The research demonstrates approximately 99.9% fidelity during two-qubit operations, with fast gate times of about 500 nanoseconds, enabled by native hardware-level error detection. Leveraging these results, D-Wave simulations indicate its dual-rail architecture could reduce the logical error rate by as much as a factor of 10 for each increment in error correction, significantly reducing the physical qubit overhead required for fault-tolerant quantum computing.

"Gate-model quantum computing’s greatest remaining challenge is not simply building more qubits. It is building systems that can correct errors efficiently as they scale," said Dr. Alan Baratz, CEO of D-Wave. "Superconducting quantum computers are known for speed, but achieving the high fidelity needed for scalable, fault-tolerant systems has remained a challenge. This research demonstrates that our dual-rail architecture combines fast superconducting operations with high-fidelity performance while preserving native hardware-level error detection. We believe that this work confirms our path to commercial fault-tolerant quantum computing is practical and achievable."

<b xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Removing a Major Barrier to Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing</b>

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Quantum information is inherently fragile and highly susceptible to errors, making efficient quantum error correction essential for the development of reliable, fault-tolerant gate-model quantum computers. In many gate-model architectures, correcting those errors requires large numbers of additional physical qubits and operations, creating substantial engineering complexity, cost, and performance constraints. D-Wave’s dual-rail architecture is designed to create a favorable error hierarchy in which the most common quantum errors are also the easiest to correct. The newly published research demonstrates that this favorable error hierarchy is preserved during two-qubit operations, with the technology maintaining both speed and high fidelity. The results establish an important foundation for scalable quantum error correction with substantially lower hardware overhead.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
"The entangling gate demonstrated through this research is already integrated into our gate-model systems, where it is delivering comparable performance," said Dr. Robert Schoelkopf, chief scientist at D-Wave. "We believe these results provide strong evidence that the core architectural principles underpinning our gate-model development roadmap can deliver the speed, fidelity and error-correction efficiency required for practical, fault-tolerant quantum computing."

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The research supports D-Wave’s recently announced gate-model development roadmap, which targets a 2032 completion of a 100-logical-qubit system capable of successfully performing more than 1 million operations. The roadmap brings together D-Wave’s superconducting dual-rail architecture and integrated cryogenic control technology to enable more efficient error detection and awareness as systems scale. D-Wave’s roadmap is targeting an error reduction rate, or Lambda, of 10. Lambda is a measure of how rapidly a quantum computer’s errors are reduced as more error-correction capability is added. A Lambda of 10 means the system becomes 10 times more reliable with each increment in error correction, making it possible to achieve low logical error rates required for fault-tolerant quantum computing with far fewer physical qubits.

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
"Building a fault-tolerant quantum computer requires systematically solving a series of difficult scientific and engineering challenges, with each success bringing us closer to a scalable system," said Dr. Trevor Lanting, chief development officer at D-Wave. "This research demonstrates one of the foundational capabilities of our dual-rail architecture and brings us an important step closer to fault-tolerant gate-model quantum computing."

</p><p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The research further advances D-Wave’s dual-platform strategy of developing complementary annealing and gate-model quantum computing technologies to address the full range of computationally complex problems.

A Nature-published study validates D-Wave's dual-rail gate-model approach, showing a high-fidelity two-qubit entangling gate and hardware-level error detection that could substantially reduce qubit overhead for fault-tolerant quantum computing. The findings bolster D-Wave's 2032 roadmap for 100 logical qubits and more than 1 million operations, potentially accelerating partner adoption and lowering deployment costs.
