Introduction to Quantum Computing
Fault Tolerant Procedures
Fault tolerance is a property that enables a system to continue operating properly in the event of the failure of one or more of its components.
This is important for advancing quantum computing. An important concept for achieving faulty tolerant procedures in quantum systems is quantum error correction. Quantum error correction (QEC) techniques are used in quantum computing to protect the quantum information. QEC is theorized as being essential to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computation. QEC can reduce the effects of noise on the stored quantum information, faulty quantum gates, faulty quantum preparation, and faulty measurements.
Thus, single point of failure must not be allowed to happen or cascades to other components. The design of the procedures must take this into account.
