Announcement
Jonas Helsen of CWI has received a €1.5 million ERC Starting Grant to develop new methods for analysing and certifying fault-tolerant quantum computers.
Quantum computers could solve certain problems much more efficiently than conventional computers, but their basic information units, known as qubits, are highly susceptible to errors caused by environmental disturbances and imperfect control. As computations become longer and more complex, reliable quantum error correction becomes essential.
