Quantum Computing Brings New Error Correction Challenges

白皮书

Futurists in the quantum computing industry are discussing the disruptive potential of quantum computers to accelerate rapid growth and innovation in many fields — including medicine, materials science, and finance. However, one significant barrier to reaching this potential is quantum computing’s high susceptibility to noise and calibration resulting in errors.

The ability to manage or reduce error rates in quantum computers will determine the pace at which we reach the capacity to begin leveraging quantum computers. If we can understand the impact of errors and how well current techniques can compensate for them, we can gain insight into what stage of development the quantum computing industry has reached.
