Record: YesLevel: GraduateLanguage: EnglishPrerequisiteQuantum Mechanics, Linear AlgebraAbstractIn this course, I present a self-consistent review of fault-tolerant quantum computation using the surface code. The course covers everything required to understand topological fault-tolerant quantum computation, ranging from the definition of the surface code to topological quantum error correction ...
Abstract: Geometric and holonomic quantum computation utilizes intrinsic geometric properties of quantum-mechanical state spaces to realize quantum logic gates. Since both geometric phases and quantum holonomies are global quantities depending only on the evolution paths of quantum systems, quantum gates based on them possess built-in resilience to certain kinds of errors. This talk provides ...
