On December 22, 2025, the research team helmed by Academician Pan Jianwei from the University of Science and Technology of China unveiled a momentous breakthrough in the realm of quantum error correction. This feat was accomplished using the 107-qubit superconducting quantum processor, dubbed 'Zuchongzhi 3.2'. The team introduced and substantiated a full-microwave quantum state leakage suppression framework. This innovation has led to a substantial reduction in the logical bit error rate of the surface code, particularly when the code distance is set at 7 and increases further. This progress stands as proof that the system has successfully surpassed the error correction threshold. This remarkable accomplishment was featured in the esteemed international journal Physical Review Letters. It not only lays a pivotal groundwork for the practical deployment of quantum computers but also pioneers a more efficient 'full-microwave control' technological route, distinguishing itself from Google's methodology. This development offers a fresh approach for the future construction of million-qubit-scale quantum computers.
