YuQC Talk: Introduction to Quantum Error Correction

​About the talk:

​Quantum computers harness superposition and entanglement to tackle problems beyond the reach of classical computation. Yet the very quantum states that enable this advantage are highly vulnerable to environmental noise. As a result, detecting and correcting for errors is one of the most important steps to building successful quantum computers.

​How does quantum error correction work? What bottlenecks stand in the way? Join Prof. Puri to explore how her group is tackling these challenges—and what it will take to make reliable quantum computing a reality.

​About Prof. Puri:

​Prof. Puri studies how to design quantum computers that can operate reliably with fewer physical resources. Her group combines quantum circuit engineering, error correction codes tailored to specific types of noise, and qubits with built-in protection against errors—bringing hardware design and quantum information theory together to make fault-tolerant computing more practical.
