Fault-Tolerant Quantum Technologies

2020, Aug 09 -- Aug 21

Organizers:
E. Campbell (University of Sheffield)
B. Terhal (QuTech, Delft)
S. Flammia (University of Sydney)

DUE TO COVID-19, FTQT WILL NOT TAKE PLACE AT BENASQUE.

HOWEVER, AN ONLINE CONFERENCE WILL TAKE PLACE (details below)

The FTQT 2020 workshop will bring together researchers exploring different techniques for tackling noise in quantum computation, following up on the previous 2016 edition of FTQT. The workshop's goal is to accelerate the development of new theoretical tools to improve the performance, efficiency and practicality of fault-tolerance protocols. The resulting theoretical work will help developers of quantum technology hardware to overcome challenges posed by decoherence.

Topics of discussion include:

- understanding noise model details such as noise bias & qubit leakage;
- advances in decoder development & efficiency;
- LDPC codes;
- Bosonic/GKP codes.

The two-week workshop will have a light talk schedule with a small number of speakers, allowing plenty of time for collaborations and informal discussions. The talks will take places over zoom with Q&A and discussions on a slack channel. To ensure you receive up to date information on access to zoom and slack, please register through the Benasque website (here). There is no fee for registration. The programme will include invited talks form

- Nikolas Breuckmann (University College London)
- Ken Brown (Duke University)
- Nicolas Delfosse (Microsoft)
- Chris Chamberland (Amazon)
- Leonardo DiCarlo (Delft University of Technology)
- Marcus Mueller (University of Aachen)
- Naomi Nickerson (PsiQuantum)
- Shruti Puri (Yale University)
- David Tuckett (University of Sydney)
- Gilles Zemor (Bordeaux University)
