Researchers explore new ways to improve accuracy of quantum computers

Researchers at various universities have introduced wiggle wells to enhance quantum computer accuracy by adjusting the physical structure of a qubit, a silicon quantum dot, to decrease computing errors.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Delft University of Technology, and the University of New South Wales have developed ‘wiggle wells’ to improve the accuracy of quantum computers. The researchers showed that tweaking a qubit`s physical structure, known as a silicon quantum dot, creates sufficient valley splitting to reduce computing errors.
