Guest Post: What a High School Student Found When He Stress-Tested a Quantum Benchmark
Guest Post By Jithesh Mithra, Independent Researcher, Jacksonville, Florida Here is a result that should not happen. Take a quantum error correction (QEC) code, fix the physical error rate, and ask a simple question. Does adding more qubits make it work better? Under a single noise assumption, the answer would be yes. However under a […]
