Quantum computing is on the verge of catapulting the digital revolution to new heights.
Turbocharged processing holds the promise of instantaneously diagnosing health ailments and providing rapid development of new medicines; greatly speeding up response time in AI systems for such time-sensitive operations as autonomous driving and space travel; optimizing traffic control in congested cities; helping aircraft better navigate extreme turbulence; speeding up weather forecasting that better quantum computing“>prepares localities facing potential disaster, and optimizing supply chain systems for more efficient delivery times and cost savings.
But we’re not there yet. One of the greatest obstacles facing quantum operations is error-correction.
The price for speedier operations in quantum systems is a higher error rate. Quantum computers are highly susceptible to noise such as electromagnetic signals, temperature change and disturbances in the Earth’s magnetic field. Such noise triggers errors.
Qubits, the components particular to quantum computing, themselves are prone to error. Faults in frequencies, energy levels and coupling strength can cause miscalculations.
