Hardware-efficient quantum error correction with nitrogen-vacancy centers

Abstract

Quantum technologies promise to revolutionize many fields, ranging from precise sensing to fast computation. The success of novel technologies based on quantum effects rests on engineering quantum systems robust to decoherence-the uncontrollable decay of quantum coherence, one of the very features that empowers quantum computation. To date, performance of quantum devices in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era is still limited by decoherence. The long term solution is universal quantum computers that run on fault-tolerant quantum error corrected logical qubits which are immune to decoherence. However, the substantial overhead of qubits and quantum gates quantum error correction (QEC) imposes is thought to greatly limit its utility in NISQ devices.
