The second episode in our series will focus on error mitigation, error correction and fault tolerance. In the first episode, we heard from leading experts about some of the challenges of building scalable quantum computing hardware, and they emphasised the need to actively suppress errors before they can overwhelm a computation. We now take a deepe…
