An Introduction to Simulating Quantum Error Correction

Le Lab Quantique

An introduction to quantum error correction, highlighting the important terminology and technical tools used in the field.

STATION F

Quantum computing hardware has improved dramatically in recent years, with significant increases in fidelity across most major qubit modalities. However, physical qubit operations will likely never reach the 10^-12 error rates required to reliably run large-scale quantum algorithms. To achieve this, we require quantum error correction, in which lower error rates are achieved by using logical qubits composed of many physical qubits. In this talk, I will give an introduction to quantum error correction, highlighting the important terminology and technical tools used in the field. I will discuss how simulations play an important role in characterizing the performance of a quantum code, before introducing Stim, the main numerical tool used to perform these simulations.
