Quantum Information and Cryptography
Abstract
Quantum error correction (QEC) is a cornerstone of quantum information processing, enabling the reliable transmission of quantum information over noisy channels. However, the performance of QEC protocols is heavily reliant on the efficient allocation of quantum channels, a process that is often static and suboptimal. This paper introduces a novel framework for dynamic optimization of quantum channels within QEC protocols. The core idea leverages machine learning, specifically reinforcement learning, to model the characteristics of quantum channels and dynamically adjust channel assignment strategies. The proposed system learns from channel behavior, adapting to changes in noise levels, load, and other relevant factors. This adaptive approach significantly enhances the robustness and efficiency of quantum communication. The theoretical analysis demonstrates a substantial improvement in error correction performance compared to traditional, static channel allocation schemes. The system's ability to respond in real-time to channel conditions represents a critical step toward practical quantum communication networks. Key performance metrics, such as the quantum error rate (QER) and the overhead associated with channel allocation, are rigorously evaluated under diverse scenarios.
The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

It is found that roles of MVPs in startups were not fully aware by entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs should consider a systematic approach to fully explore the value of MVP, as a multiple facet product (MFP).

It is found that what perceived as biggest challenges by software startups do vary across different life cycle stages, even though its significance decreases when the learning focuses of the startups move from problem to solution and their products mature.
