Ma, L. (author), Sanders, Jaron (author)We study a classical model for the accumulation of errors in multi-qubit quantum computations. By modeling the error process in a quantum computation using two coupled Markov chains, we are able to capture a weak form of time-dependency between errors in the past and future. By subsequently using techniques from the field of discrete...conference paper 2021
