Dear all,
We are excited to have Nikolas Breuckmann from University of Bristol deliver our final
Special Quantum Information Seminar on Thursday Nov 30, in Jefferson 250. The talk will be
3:00-4:00 pm, followed by a mentorship session with Nikolas from 4:00-4:30 pm. Note the
timing change from the previous seminar.
Title: Quantum Error Correction
Abstract: Quantum devices are very fragile, and it is widely accepted that quantum
computing will require some form of error correction to be possible. We will discuss some
of the basics of quantum error correction and some recent trends in the field. We also
touch upon applications of ideas from quantum error correction to other fields.
Mentorship session - Aimed at students and early career researchers, the mentorship
session will allow the audience to engage with Nikolas on questions related to career and
research directions. The questions can range anywhere from ''Is research in
quantum computing a good career choice?" to "How can I contribute to quantum
fault tolerance as an experimentalist?". These important questions usually come up in
one-to-one conversations at the end of a seminar, but our goal here will be to openly
discuss and benefit from them.
With Best Regards,
Anurag Anshu
