Assessing the Progress of Trapped-Ion Processors Towards Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation

A quantitative assessment of the progress of small prototype quantum processors towards fault-tolerant quantum computation is a problem of current interest in experimental and theoretical quantum information science. We introduce a necessary and fair criterion for quantum error correction (QEC), whi...
