Sentences with phrase «quantum error correction»

Then I write programs to simulate quantum error correction getting bombarded by errors, and test out my decoding.

Today, Heim continues her research in the field of quantum computing, mostly in the realm of adiabatic quantum computing and quantum error correction, at ETH Zürich's Institute of Theoretical Physics.

Shor's «quantum error correction» methods boosted confidence that quantum computing technology would in fact someday be possible — confidence that was warranted in light of the progress in the two decades since then.

Much more recently, the math describing quantum error correction has turned up in a completely unexpected context — efforts to understand the nature of spacetime by uniting gravity with quantum mechanics.

For quantum computers to be truly useful in the long run, we will also need robust quantum error correction, a technique to mitigate the fragility of quantum states.

Not exact matches

So scientists are sketching out some simple problems that quantum computers could dig into without error correction.

«There's kind of a chicken - and - egg thing, as to do error correction you need a larger collection of quantum bits,» says Rob Schoelkopf of Yale University.

For the first time, researchers are able to extend the lifetime of a quantum bit, or qubit, using error correction — an essential step to useful quantum computers

It's impossible to really harness the power of these machines in a useful way without error correction, she says — a technique that mitigates the fickle nature of quantum mechanics.

The analog device must keep a quantum superposition intact long enough for the simulation to run its course without resorting to digital error correction.

These purely quantum traits may include superposition, entanglement, decoherence (along with the quantum aspects of measurement and error correction) or new behavior that emerges in engineered quantum many - body systems.

In addition, adiabatic quantum computers are vulnerable to disturbances that can disrupt the superpositions that make qubits work, whereas error correction techniques can protect standard quantum computers from such disruptions.
