Speaker: Liam Hickey (Western) Title: "An Introduction to Quantum Error Correction III" Room: MC 107 Abstract: Quantum Error Correction (QEC) serves as one of the most important fields, opening pathways to harness the true power of quantum computing. While quantum computing holds potential, this potential cannot be realized without ways to guarantee the stability and reliability of qubits, which are inherently prone to errors. To address this challenge, I will begin by exploring the origins of error correction, where early methods ensured reliable data transmission without fear of complete loss. From there, I will discuss the challenges of bridging classical and quantum error correction techniques. Finally, I will introduce stabilizer codes, one of the most promising class of codes in QEC. In future talks, I will build on this foundation to explore more advanced stabilizer codes, including topological codes. |
