Fault-tolerant quantum computation with constant error
Open accessAbstract
In the past year many developments have taken place in the area of quantum error corrections. Recently Shor showed how to perform fault tolerant quantum computation when, , the probability for a fault in one time step per qubit or per gate, is polylogarithmically small. This paper closes the gap and shows how to perform fault tolerant quantum computation when the error probability, , is smaller than some constant threshold, 0 . The cost is polylogarithmic in time and space, and no measurements are used during the quantum computation. The same result is shown also for quantum circuits which operate on nearest neighbors only.

“First, the choice to work with circuits which allow parallelism is necessary, because sequential quantum computation, such as quantum Turing machines, cannot be noise resistant[3], since error corrections cannot be applied fast enough to prevent accumulation of errors.”

“Second, by considering more favorable schemes for Hamiltonian decomposition 256,257 , most modern-day simulation algorithms scale in terms of τ max = t ‖ H ‖ max instead of τ , where ‖ H ‖ max is the absolute value of the largest entry of H as a matrix in the computational basis.”

“In fact, arbitrarily large quantum computations can be performed with arbitrary accuracy, provided the error level of the elementary components of the quantum computer is below a certain threshold. This important result is called the threshold theorem of quantum computation 59-62”

“It was argued by scientists that due to the continuity of quantum states, and to the fact that quantum states cannot be cloned[ 74 ], it will be impossible to protect quantum information from noise[72, 47].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
