Quantum Coding to Overcome the Qubit Loss Error

Inspired by quantum mechanics, people have been dreaming of a new type of computers to revolutionize computing technique - quantum computers. Such dream machines will take advantage of the fact that the quantum bit (qubit), the fundamental unit of quantum information, can be in a superposition state and thus is able to store massive data and solve complicated problems at an incredible speed beyond the capacity of classical computers.
