Building a quantum computer requires reckoning with errors—in more than one sense. Quantum bits, or "qubits," which can take on the logical values zero and one simultaneously, and thus carry out calculations faster, are ...

Many of today's quantum devices rely on collections of qubits, also called spins. These quantum bits have only two energy levels, the "0" and the "1." However, spins in real devices also interact with light and vibrations ...
