The Development of Quantum Error Correction - Green Family Lecture at IPAM at UCLA

Explore the groundbreaking developments in quantum error correction through this illuminating lecture by Peter Shor from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Delivered at IPAM's Topology, Quantum Error Correction and Quantum Gravity Workshop, the talk delves into the early challenges of making quantum computers practical due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Discover how researchers overcame the apparent impossibility of correcting errors in quantum systems without disrupting computations. Gain insights into the design of quantum error correcting codes and the evolution of fault-tolerant techniques that have paved the way for practical quantum computing. Recorded on November 28, 2023, this 51-minute presentation offers a comprehensive survey of the field's pivotal advancements.
