Do we know how quantum error shows itself when we work on huge numbers? Or in other terms, is quantum error probabilistic or deterministic?
Summarize this article with:
With traditional transistors it is either at fault or not. But also they have 2 possible results, which is 0 or 1. But in quantum qubits, there are much more possible results depend on how far the qubit is from the starting qubit. For example, if you are talking about 100th concurrent logical qubit on the line, it means 100th qubit alone creates millions more outcomes. So lets say we have an 100 logical qubit long quantum computer and total cumulative error rate is 1% (hypothetical). Which one is true: - For every 100 calculations, quantum computer gives the correct answer 99 of the times. (deterministic quantum error) - Quantum computer act as possible results are 100 times smaller. It means qc will give random result from remaining 1% which is the correct result in. (probabilistic quantum error) I don't get this part, because we calculate as if qubits are probabilistic, but when the time comes to quantum error everyone thinks as it is deterministic. Or is it really is, I couldn't find any source about quantum error is deterministic or probabilistic. submitted by /u/ReallyOrdinaryMan [link] [comments]
