Noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices (NISQ) are quantum computing systems that operate with a limited number of qubits and are affected by significant levels of noise and errors. These devices are not yet capable of achieving fault-tolerant quantum computation but represent a critical step in the evolution of quantum technology, allowing researchers to explore quantum algorithms and applications in a noisy environment.
congrats on reading the definition of noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. now let's actually learn it.
