Assessing Decoherence Error of a Single-Qubit Optical Quantum Computer
By Aarav Bajaj, Garrett Heller, Pranav Mathur
In this project, we use the polarization of our laser as our superposition state and waveplate constructions as Quantum X-gates. We compute the theoretical and experimental expectation value of our polarization state through the X-gates and analyze the results to estimate and devise a method to mitigate decoherence error.
