# The 1% Breakthrough: How ParityQC ran a 52-qubit quantum record with a 99% failure rate - slug: the-1-breakthrough-how-parityqc-ran-a-52-qubit-quantum-record-with-a-99-failure-rate - date: 2026-04-16 - category: Quantum Computing ParityQC just ran a quantum algorithm on 52 qubits — nearly double the old record. But the result worked roughly once in every 100 attempts, and the real story is the compilation architecture that made it possible. ---
