Scientific paper

This dissertation treats the topics of threshold calculation, ancilla construction, and non-standard error models. Chapter 2 introduces background material ranging from quantum mechanics to classical coding to thresholds for quantum computation. In Chapter 3 numerical and analytical means are used to generate estimates of and bounds on the threshold given an error model described by a restricted stochastic Pauli channel. Chapter 4 develops a simple, flexible means of estimating the threshold and applies it to some cases of interest. Finally, a novel method of ancilla construction is proposed in Chapter 5, and the difficulties associated with implementing it are discussed.
