Workshop on Quantum Error Correction (QEC)
This workshop, part of the Research Semester Programme “Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Error Correction”, will feature a light programme of talks, with plenty of time for collaboration. We encourage participants to submit “open problems” in quantum error correction that they think are timely and would benefit from a burst of sustained attention.
We will curate these problems into a list to guide discussions during the workshop. We may ask you to give a short impromptu presentation about your problem (though you can of course submit problems without choosing to present) at the start of the workshop. You can submit open problems by directly emailing Jonas Helsen at jonas@cwi.nl.
We also want to give younger people the opportunity to present their work. If you would like to give a talk please submit a title and abstract by directly emailing Jonas Helsen at jonas at cwi dot nl. We will make a selection from the submitted abstracts.
Confirmed speakers: Barbara Terhal (TU Delft), Kenta Kasai (Institute of Science Tokyo) and Christophe Vuillot (Alice & Bob).
