    Error correction in quantum computers

    Quantum computing holds the potential to revolutionize fields ranging from cryptography to materials science and optimization problems. However, one of the most pressing obstacles to realizing this potential is the fragility of quantum information. In classical computing, data corruption is rare and can be handled using well-established error correction codes. In contrast, quantum bits-or qubits-are…
