UMass Amherst Team Helps Demonstrate Spontaneous Quantum Error Correction
New research tackles a central challenge of powerful quantum computing February 11, 2021 Chen Wang AMHERST, Mass. – To build a universal quantum computer from fragile quantum components, effective implementation of quantum error correction (QEC) is an essential requirement and a central challenge. QEC is used in quantum computing, which has the potential to solve scientific problems beyond the scope of supercomputers, to protect quantum information from errors due to various noise.
