“I am working to understand and control how qubits must be interconnected in a quantum computer. The qubits store the information, but they are still susceptible to errors, as they can sometimes spontaneously change their state or even get lost completely. Together with colleagues, I have developed a correction procedure that detects faulty qubits and saves the information stored in them. A protective function of this kind is essential for large, robust quantum computers of the future.”
