Training a Dragon: Protecting Quantum Algorithms on âNoisyâ Computers
For years, APL has applied its expertise to protecting quantum computers from a challenging issue called decoherence, errors that arise when the building blocks of quantum computing lose information to their environment. Researchers are now testing strategies for combating these errors to improve the performance of quantum algorithms on noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers.
