Prof. Dr. Frank Leymann: “Quantum Computing in the NISQ era

Many quantum algorithms promise a significant speedup compared to classical approaches. However, we are currently still in the NISQ era of quantum computing, i.e. current quantum computers are still error-prone and do not have any error correction capabilities. Therefore, this talk deals with limitations of NISQ computers and highlights factors that have an essential influence on the (successful) execution of quantum algorithms in the NISQ era. One of these aspects is, for example, the state preparation of data in the quantum computer, or in other words: How do you get the data to be processed into the quantum computer?
