NISQ

The term refers to the current era of quantum computing characterized by quantum processors with a moderate number of qubits that are subject to noise and errors. These devices are not yet capable of fault-tolerant quantum computation but are useful for exploring quantum algorithms and simulations, providing valuable insights into the potential of quantum technology. NISQ devices are primarily of interest to researchers and developers in the field of quantum computing who are working on advancing quantum algorithms and understanding the limitations and capabilities of current quantum hardware.
