Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Error Correction

Tuesday and Thursday, 2-4pm: Building E2 6 - Room E11 (0.11)

Event number: 155967

Quantum error correction is key to realize the computational power of quantum computers. To protect quantum information against unavoidable environmental noise, a logical quantum bit is encoded using several physical qubits. You will learn how this allows to detect and correct errors without disrupting the fragile quantum information stored in a coherent and entangled wavefunction of qubits. 

In this seminar, we will discuss: 

•fundamentals of quantum error correction codes
•the threshold theorem that proves that quantum computing is in principle possible
•principles of fault-tolerant quantum computations
•recent experimental demonstrations of early fault-tolerance

Lecturers: Prof. Dr. Peter Orth

AI goes quantum: From neural networks to quantum machine learning

Wednesday, 12-2pm: Building E2 6 - Room E04

Event number: 155977

We will discuss a selection of topics from classical machine learning (neural nets, reinforcement learning) that build the basis to understand recent trends in quantum convolutional neural networks, quantum reinforcement learning, and quantum machine learning algorithms applied to quantum data sets.
