Error Propagation and Threshold

Dr. Simon Devitt rejoins us to describe how errors propagate in a system and what a quantum error correction threshold is.

Dr. Simon Devitt of Turing, Inc. rejoins us to describe how errors propagate inside a quantum system, and how that leads us to determine a threshold for a quantum error correction code. When the probability of error on a single gate is above that threshold, error correction makes things worse instead of better. When the probability of error is below the threshold, the overall quality of our system begins to improve.

誤りの伝達としきい値

Turing社のサイモン・デビット博士に再び登場いただき、量子システム内での誤り伝搬について、またそれがどのように量子誤り訂正符号の閾値を決定づけるのか、について解説いただきます。単一ゲートの誤りの確率が閾値以上だと、誤り訂正は、逆効果を及ぼします。誤りの確率がその閾値以下の場合に、システム全体の品質が好転していきます。
