A vexing problem has long confronted quantum computer designers: the need to keep bits in a superconducting quantum processor free of errors and ready to perform calculations whenever necessary. These “qubits” are notoriously sensitive to heat and radiation, which can spoil their calculations ….
Swedish Researchers Use Error Mitigation Technique to Apply Quantum Computing to Chemistry
April 20, 2023 — Researchers at Chalmers University have announced that for the first time in Sweden, a quantum computer has been used for calculations within a real-life case in chemistry using a method called Reference-State Error Mitigation (REM), which the researchers say works by correcting for the errors that occur due to noise by […]
