Abstract
Quantum computing is a new computational paradigm, expected to revolutionize the computing field in the next few years. Qubits, the atomic units of a quantum circuit, exploit the quantum physics properties to increase the parallelism and speed of computation. Unfortunately, qubits are both intrinsically noisy and highly susceptible to external sources of faults, such as ionizing radiation. The latest discoveries highlight a much higher radiation sensitivity of qubits than traditional transistors and identify a much more complex fault model than bit-flip. The observed error rate is so high that researchers are questioning the large-scale adoption of quantum computers. The reliability and dependability community is asked to act to find innovative solutions to improve the reliability of quantum applications. This tutorial aims at providing the DSN community with the tools to do so and to train the attendees on quantum fault injection.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
