Sufficient condition on noise correlations for scalable quantum computing

Quantum Physics 2013-01-15 v2 Other Condensed Matter

Abstract

I study the effectiveness of fault-tolerant quantum computation against correlated Hamiltonian noise, and derive a sufficient condition for scalability. Arbitrarily long quantum computations can be executed reliably provided that noise terms acting collectively on k system qubits are sufficiently weak, and decay sufficiently rapidly with increasing k and with increasing spatial separation of the qubits.
