Special Session: Impact of Noise on Quantum Algorithms in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum Systems

A major challenge in realizing efficient and powerful quantum algorithms is quantum noise. Quantum noise itself is a sophisticated topic that is not seen in the classical domain. In this paper, we explore the impact of noise on quantum algorithms in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) systems. This paper first introduces the origins of quantum noise. Next, it proposes a common treatment to simplify the view of quantum noise. Finally, it presents a case study to investigate the impact of noise on quantum Fourier transform algorithm.
