Quantum Error Correction (QEC) has rapidly become the centre of gravity for global quantum computing progress — and this year’s Quantum Error Correction Report 2025 from Riverlane captures just how dramatically the landscape has shifted. With real-time QEC now recognised worldwide as the essential pathway to utility-scale quantum computing, this report distils the technical breakthroughs, workforce insights, and strategic signals shaping the race toward fault-tolerant machines.

Australia is strongly positioned in this global momentum. The report highlights the growing role of collaborative research, world-class hardware programs, and contributions from leading figures such as Professor Stephen Bartlett, whose work in quantum information science continues to influence the global QEC community. As nations and industry accelerate investment, Australia’s expertise and maturing ecosystem put it squarely in the conversation around early fault-tolerant platforms and scalable architectures.

For policymakers, hardware developers, and anyone tracking the frontier of quantum progress, Riverlane’s report offers a clear, data-rich view of where QEC stands today — and the engineering, talent, and system-level challenges the world must overcome next.
