Quantum computing’s next leap may be classical, leading researchers suggest. At Adaptive Quantum Circuits 2026, researchers showed achieving fault tolerance will depend on classical systems that act mid-computation, questioning if every quantum circuit will become adaptive, and this held across superconducting circuits, spin qubits, trapped ions, neutral atoms and bosonic systems.
Quantum Machines’ Adaptive Quantum Circuits shows all qubit types need classical mid-circuit control
