Not all errors are equal
In quantum computing, fault tolerance isn’t a single threshold—it depends on which errors you’re dealing with. The physics of your qubits determines the dominant errors—and that shapes which error correction codes will work. Learn more in this carousel.

Hardware doesn’t need to be perfect
Quantum hardware doesn’t need to be perfect, but it needs to be below the fault-tolerance threshold. Staying below the threshold for all imperfections is not easy, but QC Design’s Plaquette™ makes it easier. Learn more in our carousel.
