Experimental Quantum Error Correction
Speaker(s): Raymond Laflamme
Abstract: The Achilles\' heel of quantum information processors is the fragility of quantum states and processes. Without a method to control imperfection and imprecision of quantum devices, the probability that a quantum computation succeed will decrease exponentially in the number of gates it requires. In ... read more
