IBM has announced a significant breakthrough in general-purpose quantum computing, as AMD's standard chips have successfully run a key error correction algorithm.

AMD's FPGAs Manage to Run Qubit Error Correction Algorithms, With Up To 10x Higher than Desired Performance

Well, IBM has been one of the leading entities in the race for quantum computers , excelling alongside Google in terms of milestones with the technology. However, the company is more focused on what appears to me to be 'mainstream developments', and their recent announcement appears to be a huge breakthrough. According to a report by Reuters , IBM has reportedly managed to run a quantum error correction algorithm on AMD's FPGAs, achieving a ten times faster implementation than initially anticipated.
