Introduction to Quantum Supremacy

Last quarter, our team discovered that our quantum circuits were losing coherence at scale. We tried surface codes first - complete failure. Here's what we learned when exploring quantum supremacy with IBM Qiskit 0.46 and Google Cirq 1.4.

The Problem with Quantum Error Correction

Most docs skip the hard part: implementing quantum error correction. I realized that surface codes and Shor codes are not just theoretical concepts, but actual tools we can use to improve our quantum circuits. When I first tried this, it broke because I didn't account for the noise in our system.

Deep Dive into Surface Code

The surface code is a type of quantum error correction code that uses a 2D array of qubits to detect and correct errors. It's like a puzzle: each qubit is connected to its neighbors, and by measuring the correlations between them, we can detect errors.
