Topic: An Introduction to Quantum Error Correction
Mahir Can - Tulane University
Abstract: Quantum information theory sits at the crossroads of physics, mathematics, and computer science, harnessing the immense potential of quantum mechanics for computation. However, this potential is fragile, susceptible to errors from noise and imperfections. To overcome these challenges, quantum error correction (QEC) emerges as a vital tool. In this talk, I will explain the core principles of classical and quantum error correction in elementary terms. I will then explain how a modification of the underlying measurement technique can pave the way for advancements in QEC.
