Google Quantum AI team demonstrates the implementation of "color codes" for quantum error correction on a superconducting qubit platform, offering an alternative to surface codes. Color codes use a triangular patch of hexagonal tiles, requiring fewer physical qubits and enabling more efficient logical gates. Results show a logical error rate suppressed by 1.56x at a higher distance, with expectations that geometrical advantages will increase at larger scales. Color codes facilitate faster single-qubit logical operations and efficient magic state generation, critical for quantum algorithms.
