No matter the platform, errors are an inevitable part of quantum computing and thus steps need to be taken to reduce them during operation. The work featured on our April 2019 cover (image, left), for example, provided an approach to reduce error rates in silicon qubits based on electron spins confined in quantum dot structures. The paper was from Henry Yang and colleagues, and was entitled ‘Silicon qubit fidelities approaching incoherent noise limits via pulse engineering’ (Nat. Electron. 2, 151–158; 2019). It showed how pulse-engineering techniques could be used to reduce error rates in the silicon qubits by a factor of three compared with state-of-the-art silicon devices.
