Finding novel methods to characterize these noisy systems as they grow in size continues to be a significant challenge that will require some rather novel solutions. Brute force evaluation of all possible computations with all possible input states is, of course, infeasible, so designing novel approaches to allow us to infer the information we need to perform verification and validation with finite resources is required.
Through a new broad agency announcement, the two solicit proposals to help identify the strength and type of errors affecting quantum computation.
