Abstract

Quantum states are prone to error due to decoherence and imperfect operations. Quantum error correction provides a framework to detect and correct such errors. In this seminar, I will give an introduction to the basic idea of quantum error correction, where a logical qubit state is encoded into multiple physical qubits. I will also talk about the stabilizer formalism, concluding with an account of the state-of-the-art implementations of error correcting codes in leading quantum platforms.
