Talk Title: <\/strong>Quantum Error Correction in Costa Rica<\/p>\n Speaker: Mauricio Gutierrez<\/strong><\/p>\n Hosted by:<\/strong>\u00a0 Duke Quantum Center<\/p>\n Abstract:\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>Fault-tolerant (FT) quantum computers will rely on quantum error correcting codes to actively protect the logical information from the deleterious effects of noise. Therefore, quantum error correction (QEC) will be a crucial part in the construction of quantum computers capable of outperforming their classical counterparts in important problems. In this talk I will review some of my past and current work on QEC, including feasibility studies of small QEC codes on realistic quantum architectures and the use of machine-learning techniques to improve the decoding process. I will also briefly talk about our future plans regarding the study of error mitigation schemes for the variational quantum eigensolver, a popular algorithm that could be very useful for quantum chemistry before the advent of FT quantum computers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
