Noise in quantum systems and the need for quantum error correction
Quantum computing is a promising technology that has the potential to revolutionize various fields, from cryptography to drug design. However, one of the biggest obstacles in the development of quantum computing systems is the presence of noise. Quantum systems are very sensitive to their environment, and even the slightest interaction with the external world can cause errors in quantum computations. This leads to the need for fault tolerance in quantum computation. Quantum error correction is a key component for achieving fault tolerance. In this talk, I will discuss the key challenges in the development of quantum error correcting codes compared to classical error correcting codes. I will discuss some basic quantum codes and their properties.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
