Abstract: Quantum computers have the potential to solve certain computational tasks significantly faster than classical computers. Although the theory of quantum fault-tolerance ensures that quantum computers can operate reliably in the presence of decoherence and noise, achieving such noise levels in experiments remains extremely challenging. In this talk, the basics of a few strategies to reduce and correct errors in quantum computers will be discussed.
