Novel validation methods for multi-qubit systems

Abstract

A quantum computer may solve problems which can not be computed using classical computers. A major challenge is that only in specific cases the solution a quantum computer proposes can be verified with classical means. Thus, one may have to resort to a second quantum computation which must be substantially different from the first one to be a meaningful test. Here we study how quantum algorithms can be implemented differently on the same quantum computer with the goal to find methods to to validate the results of quantum computations. We expect that the results of this work may also allow us to certify the proper function of a quantum computer in the first place.
