DESCRIPTION:The possibility for quantum computers to outcompete classical high-performance computers at their own game looms tantalizingly on the horizon. The main obstacle to performing large-scale computations remains the cascade of small inaccuracies on individual components throughout large quantum circuits. Since the 1990s\, techniques have been invented for suppressing these errors\, principally within academia. In this talk\, IQC alum Ben Criger lays out how we think about fault-tolerant quantum computing at Quantinuum\, and how the commercial perspective changes our beliefs and priorities with respect to performing accurate quantum computations.\nBen obtained his Ph.D. from the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) in 2014. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen and Delft University of Technology\, before moving to the private sector in 2019. He now works for Cambridge Quantum (part of Quantinuum) on the quantum error correction team\, whose mission is to make quantum computers work in real life.\n\nJoin in-person\nLazaridis QNC 0101\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://uwaterloo.zoom.us/j/7919020607?pwd=ZTVSaUZwTFduT0ZVcnU5em14M0FDdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 791 902 0607\nPasscode: 649598\n\n
