Abstract

Errors in quantum computers are of two kinds:sudden perturbations to isolated qubits, and slow,random drifts of all the qubits. Isolated errors can becorrected by using quantum codewords that represent a logical qubit in a redundant way, by severalphysical qubits. On the other hand, slow drifts can bereduced, but not completely eliminated, by means ofsymmetrization, namely by using many replicas of the computer, and forcing their joint quantumstate to be completely symmetric. Several symmetrizationstrategies are examined and analyzed.
