A puzzle of two unreliable sensors
(wordpress.com)
Suppose you are trying to measure a value P and you have two unreliable sensors. Sensor A returns 0.5P + 0.5U, where U is uniform random noise over the same domain as P. Sensor B will return either P or U with 50% likelihood. In other words, sensor A is a noisy measurement of your variable, and B is sometimes the correct value and sometimes pure noise.

Although quantum computers can perform a wide range of practically important tasks beyond the abilities of classical computers1,2, realizing this potential remains a challenge.

Randomness extractors: making fair coins out of biased coins

In a previous post titled Fair coin from biased coin, I looked at the problem of creating a uniform random coin given access to a biased coin. I looked at multiple approaches, and determined that they're actually all the same in some sense.
