‘Noise-cancelling’ qubits developed at UChicago to minimize errors in quantum computers
Researchers at the University of Chicago have developed a new method to constantly monitor the noise around a quantum system and adjust the qubits, in real time, to minimize error. The approach, described in "Science," relies on spectator qubits: a set of qubits embedded in the computer with the sole purpose of measuring outside noise rather than storing data. The information gathered by such spectator qubits can then be used to cancel out noise in vital data-processing qubits. Read More
