Description
Quantum error correction is essential for making quantum computers reliable, but it poses the classical
computational problem of decoding, i.e., deciding how to correct errors using indirect, noisy measurement
data. These decisions must be made fast enough to keep pace with the quantum hardware. In this talk, I will
discuss recent progress in quantum error correction, focusing on what makes decoding difficult and how
practical algorithms address this challenge. I will also explore how physical insights and heuristics can guide
further advances in the field.

Aleksander Kubica holds a position of Assistant Professor of Applied Physics at Yale University. Before joining Yale University, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Canada, and worked as a research scientist at the AWS Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, USA. Aleksander has been laying the theoretical foundations of how to build fault tolerant quantum computers and make them more resource-efficient. In addition, he is excited about the intersection of quantum information science and quantum many-body physics.
