Quantum Computing in Genomics and Personalized Medicine
Quantum fault tolerance refers to avoiding the uncontrolled cascade of errors caused by interaction of qubits. The goal is to achieve, through redundancy, a useful quantum computer given imperfect devices underneath. Operating on and correcting the already encoded quantum data will require many more ‘physical qubits’. Even though superconducting implementations are the most common and seem to be the frontrunners, some of the other technologies such as trapped ions are gaining traction too. Each technology has its strengths and limitations in terms of their gate times, coherence times, cooling required, and versatility.
In fact, entangled states can be used to… Read More View More Quantum Computing in Genomics and Personalized Medicine
