The conference will include the following sections per day: […]
Quantum computers, should they be realized one day, will inevitably make errors. Therefore, they need special error correcting mechanisms. The most important part of it, a so-called Toffoli gate, has now been realized by ETH scientists with superconducting circuits. In a classical computer there happens one error in about ten quadrillion (1016) operations. The goal […]
