Speakers - Winter 2026
Title Fault-tolerant quantum computation in the 21st century
Abstract Experimentalists are getting better and better at building qubits, but no matter how hard they try, their qubits will never be perfect. Today’s devices are beginning to encode the qubits using quantum error-correcting codes and encode the quantum circuits using fault-tolerant protocols. This will allow reliable quantum computation even when the individual components are imperfect. I will review the current state of the art of quantum fault tolerance and discuss possible future developments that will enable large fault-tolerant quantum computers.
