Fault Tolerance in Small Experiments

Experiments are finally reaching the size and level of precise control where we can hope to see a truly fault-tolerant experiment within the next few years. I will give a proposal for a 5-qubit fault-tolerant experiment and discuss how to evaluate if an experiment has successfully demonstrated fault tolerance. I will also consider the possibility of using future fault-tolerant experiments to answer important questions about the interaction of fault-tolerant protocols with real experimental errors.
