Duke and NC State Quantum Computing Seminar

Duke & NC State will host a series of Collaborative Quantum Computing Seminars for 2021 – 2022 Academic year!

Seminars will be held each Friday this fall from 12 Noon – 1pm

Talk Title: Topological quantum compiling — an introduction

Speaker:  Layla Hormozi

Abstract: Topological quantum computers are hypothetical devices in which quantum information is stored in certain topologically-ordered states of matter and quantum computation is carried out by “braiding” the world-lines of quasiparticle excitations that obey non-Abelian statistics in specific patterns. Since the storage and manipulation of quantum information depends only on the topological (global) properties of the system, this method of quantum computing is (in principle) intrinsically fault-tolerant. I will review the basic properties of topological states and describe a general method for finding braiding patterns that correspond to a universal set of quantum gates on encoded topological qubits, based on quasiparticles that can be realized as excitations of certain fractional quantum Hall states.

This is a Hybrid Collaborative Event with NC State and Duke. The In Person location for NC State is Venture Place, 2nd Floor, Large Classroom.
