Quantum Computers that Fix Themselves

by Dave Bacon (postdoctoral scholar in the Institute for Quantum 
Information at CalTech)

ABSTRACT

There are distinct physical reasons why classical computers act as 
naturally error free devices.  Not all classical systems can act as 
robust classical computers.  Similarly we should not expect all 
quantum systems to be useful for quantum computation.  More 
interestingly we can ask the question of whether there exist (or 
whether we can engineer) naturally fault-tolerant quantum computers. 
In this talk I will discuss recent progress toward this goal and 
present a sequence of examples which possess many of the properties 
of a naturally fault-tolerant quantum computer.
