Part 3/13:
While this feature provides quantum computers with their power, it also introduces instability. When qubits interact with their environment, they can collect noise that leads to errors, rendering computations unreliable. Error correction in quantum computing is one of the most vital yet challenging areas in modern physics. Traditional methods of error correction involve running calculations multiple times to filter out inconsistencies, a process slow and resource-intensive, hampering the scaling of practical quantum systems.
