Project description
The project contains three separate research projects, the topics of which are:
- Quantum noise simulation - Tycho de Laat
- Quantum error correction - Michel Meulen
- Quantum noise visualization - Jelle Maas
Context
These project all took place in the Quantum Computing domain, each of them with their own purpose.
Tycho's project aimed to simulate quantum noise more realistically than the current implementation.
Michel's project was aimed at correcting the errors that occur due to quantum noise.
Jelle's project was all about creating an intuitive way to visualize quantum noise.
Results
All three projects managed to succeed with their goals.
Tycho's noisy quantum gates implementation performs more realistically than the current Qiskit implementation, meaning that the simulator provides a more accurate representation of quantum noise!
Michel's quantum surface codes implementation is able to detect and correct errors that occur because of the quantum noise that is present in quantum computers!
Jelle's intuitive dashboard visualizes noise in a way that is understandable for people getting started with quantum computing, as well as, allows the user to play around with a variety of noise settings to see its effects on a quantum circuit!
