Project Description
We don't believe quantum computers will work without error correction. In this project, we will look at a specific part of the error correction process the act of measuring. Our goal is to use a device called a "quantum amplifier" to make measurements better for error correction. This project will involve reading about quantum error correction and eventually doing mathematical modeling of the error correction process using a quantum amplifier. If this project is successful we will have made it easier to build a quantum computer.
