Finding and Erasing Quantum Computing Errors in Real-Time
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: computing, quantum physics
With a quick pulse of light, researchers can now find and erase errors in real time.
Researchers have developed a method that can reveal the location of errors in quantum computers, making them up to ten times easier to correct. This will significantly accelerate progress towards large-scale quantum computers capable of tackling the world’s most challenging computational problems, the researchers said.
Led by Princeton University ’s Jeff Thompson, the team demonstrated a way to identify when errors occur in quantum computers more easily than ever before. This is a new direction for research into quantum computing hardware, which more often seeks to simply lower the probability of an error occurring in the first place.
