Practical Applications for Partial Quantum Error Correction
Quantum computers have the theoretical potential to solve problems intractable for classical computers. However, realizing this potential requires dealing with the noise inherent in near and far-term devices. One way of doing this is to redundantly encode the quantum information in a quantum error-correcting code and manipulate the encoded states to do computation. Protecting quantum information in this way incurs additional space overhead in the form of extra qubits; this is problematic since qubits are a scarce resource, especially for near-term quantum computers.
