ScientistQuestion 1 of 3

What did Peter Shor's 1994 quantum algorithm show could be done quickly on a large quantum computer?

AdvancedQuestion 2 of 3

Suppose each quantum operation independently has a 1-in-1000 chance of error. What is the probability that a computation of 500 operations has no error at all? Give your answer to two decimal places.

AdvancedQuestion 3 of 3

Why do researchers think quantum error correction will be essential, and why is it not a quick fix?
