Quantum computing is rapidly evolving from a basic science activity of university labs towards an enterprise with high-rising market projections, strongly increasing investments and with startups and large enterprises assessing quantum use-cases in their business sectors. In contrast to classical computers, however, quantum processors must cope with the errors that occur during computations, which limits...
