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
