Significant advances have been made toward full fault-tolerant quantum computing by improving the reliability of current quantum systems with different error-handling methods.

Qiskit Paulice is a new tool that embeds “spacetime Pauli checks” directly into quantum circuits to detect errors during circuit execution with minimal overhead.

Error detection is a foundational component of error correction that verifies whether a run of a quantum circuit was affected by errors.

Spacetime Pauli checks make error detection more practical by placing checks across qubits and specific locations in time within the circuit’s execution.
