Quantum Error Correction

WS 24/25

Event number: 154902

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 and Dr. Prachi Scharma
