Quantum Error Correction: The Stability Fix Reshaping 2026
iSTAR's 64.4% compute reduction and Chen's bounded gate fix point to the algorithmic side of quantum error correction in July 2026.
In short: quantum error correction crossed the surface code threshold in 2024, and algorithmic stability work like iSTAR's 64.4% compute reduction is what makes fault-tolerant quantum computing economically viable.
