To build a universal quantum computer from fragile quantum components, effective implementation of quantum error correction (QEC) is an essential requirement and a central challenge. QEC is used in quantum computing, which has the potential to solve scientific problems beyond the scope of supercomputers, to protect quantum information from errors due to various noise.

The UMass SomneuroLab wants to learn if physical activity benefits learning and napping in preschool children. Preschool children (33 to 71 months) that frequently nap, along with their adult caregiver, are being recruited for one of two in-home studies.
