Quantum computing is plagued by noise and small errors. An approach based on topological techniques reduces the sensitivity to errors and boosts the prospects for building practical quantum computers.

Scalable quantum computing can be achieved only if quantum bits are manipulated in a fault-tolerant fashion. Topological error correction—a method that combines ...

An international team of physicists is the first to implement in the lab an important “error correction” technique that could play a vital role in the development ...

Preskill’s has made major contributions to quantum computing including the concept of Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum” (NISQ) technology. This term describes the current state of quantum computers, ...
