Review Week - 3
#Quantum30 Cohort 04
Day 21
Date: 7th April, 2024.
Today marks the end of the 3rd week of this Quantum challenge. Last week, we went through some very interesting topics and a whole new layer of Quantum Computing.
Let’s take a quick look over the past week’s learnings —

1.)Classical Computations in Shor’s Algorithm:
We look over the framework of Shor’s Algorithm which consists of classical computation concepts.
2.)Quantum Computations in Shor’s Algorithm:
"..A quantum circuit for Discrete Fourier Transform for qubits, called quantum Fourier Transform (QFT), is designed to eliminate the offset in |ψ₁⟩.."
3.)Quantum Errors:
We focused on several important sources of errors and how they influence two trivial, single Qubit quantum algorithms.
4.)Coherent Quantum Errors:
"Imagine trying to play a precise melody on a piano, but the keys have a mind of their own and slightly alter the pitch of each note. This collective shift would be a coherent error."
5.)Digitization of Quantum Errors:
"..Imagine trying to fix a broken machine with no clue about the malfunction. Digitization provides a diagnostic tool, categorizing the error into specific types (like a loose screw or a faulty wire) that can be addressed with targeted repair methods."
6.)Modern developments in Quantum Error Correction:
While considering the construction of a large scale quantum computer, there are some more modern protocols that are used, such as:
a.) Bacon-Shor codes
b.) Topological codes
