Robust quantum control can achieve noise-resilience of quantum systems and quantum technological devices. While the need for noise-resilience grows with the number of fluctuating quantities, and thus typically with the number of qubits,…

Quantum states are usually fragile which makes quantum computation being not as stable as classical computation. Quantum correction codes can protect quantum states but need a large number of physical qubits to code a single logic qubit.…
