Quantum Error Correction Brings Commercial Applications Closer

Morgan Stanley Investment Management’s Counterpoint Global team revisits quantum computing, focusing on advances in error correction and the path toward economically useful systems.

• Logical qubits are becoming more reliable as error-correcting systems scale, strengthening the case for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
• Cryptography, materials science and molecular simulation remain leading potential applications, while commercial value is still unproven.
• Investors should focus on logical-qubit performance, error rates and economically useful advantages rather than headline physical-qubit counts.
