I have seen all kind of claims, bit they seems to be in the future, like 1.000.000qbits or perfect error correction.

Do they have a real breakthrough or is it just undergoing advancments on a slow road?

    I don’t know anything about quantum computing, but recently I heard a long talk by a quantum-computing expert who were trying to convince us to work on quantum error correction.

    His (probably optimistic) estimate is that with a good amount if help, we might achieve 100 logical qbit in 5 to 10 years. Completely unpredicted breakthrough is rare in computer science; if Microsoft’s tech can actually solve quantum computing (as you discribed), it would have made much much bigger wave than this.
