Their approach is probabilistic in the sense that the logic devices fail to produce an output with a failure rate that scales as 1/n, where n is the number of ancilla. Here we present an alternative approach in which the logic devices always produce an output with an intrinsic error rate that scales as 1/n² , which may have several advantages in quantum computing applications.4 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
