Quantum Error Correction and Fault-Tolerant Computing Fundamentals
"Quantum Error Correction and Fault-Tolerant Computing Fundamentals" explores how fragile quantum states can be stabilized using redundancy, logic gates, and error-correcting codes. This course addresses how errors, if uncorrected, can be exploited to extract or corrupt sensitive quantum computations. Cybersecurity risks in quantum systems often arise from fault injection or decoherence attacks, which can compromise cryptographic algorithms. Participants will learn techniques that not only protect quantum data integrity but also extend system lifespan and reliability under adversarial conditions.
