"Topological approach to quantum error correction"
Hector Bombin (Perimeter Institute)
It is essential to discover quantum error-correcting techniques with characteristics that can make quantum computing technology feasible. The line of research of topological codes has in this regard been very fruitful, as it has yielded prime candidates for implementing realistic scalable quantum computing architectures. This success is partially explained due to the connection of topological codes with condensed matter physics, which in addition has given rise to the notions of self-protected and self-correcting quantum memories. I will review several aspects of the subject and discuss a new family of topological codes (arXiv:1311.0879, arXiv:1404.5504) with very powerful features and that could possibly give rise to new physics.
