Quantum computers promise to be significantly faster and more efficient than conventional computers in some areas of application. However, their processors still make mistakes. Prof. Dr. Christopher Eichler from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU) is developing quantum processors that can detect and correct these mistakes more efficiently. The successful implementation of such methods is considered a key prerequisite for helping the technology achieve its breakthrough.
