Abstract
Quantum computing's potential is immense, promising super-polynomial reductions in execution time, energy use, and memory requirements compared to classical computers. This technology has the power to revolutionize scientific applications such as simulating many-body quantum systems for molecular structure understanding, factorization of large integers, enhance machine learning, and in the process, disrupt industries like telecommunications, material science, pharmaceuticals and artificial intelligence. However, quantum computing's potential is curtailed by noise, further complicated by non-stationary noise parameter distributions across time and qubits. This dissertation focuses on the persistent issue of noise in quantum computing, particularly non-stationarity of noise parameters in transmon processors.
