Abstract

Quantum error correction is a cornerstone of quantum computing, yet its practical implementation presents significant challenges. Traditional methods rely on simulation, which inherently lacks the rigor and completeness required for robust verification. This paper introduces a novel approach utilizing a "Quantum Consistency Model" – a mathematically-defined model of the error correction process – and employs formal verification techniques to rigorously prove key properties of quantum error correction protocols. This research offers a paradigm shift towards a mathematically-grounded verification process, addressing a critical challenge in quantum computing by providing a foundation for reliable and verifiable quantum systems.
