Challenges ahead

Challenges in Quantum Computing

Up until this point, we have learned a lot about quantum computers. Quantum computing promises to help us solve problems in a variety of application areas. However, there are still significant challenges that need to be overcome before they can reach their full potential. One of the most significant challenges is the presence of noise on current quantum devices, which can significantly affect the accuracy of quantum computations.

In this module, we will explore the current challenges in quantum computing. We will learn what NISQ stands for, examine the impact of noise on quantum computations and the importance of other parameters, such as fidelity and coherence time.
