Pushing the boundaries of experimental fault-tolerant computing (Dr. Ciaran Ryan-Anderson)

Bio:
Ciaran Ryan-Anderson obtained his PhD at the University of New Mexico during which he worked at Sandia National Laboratories. Afterwards, he did his postdoctoral research at University of Swansea and RWTH Aachen University where he studied implementing quantum error correction on ion-trap devices in collaboration with the University of Innsbruck and other groups. Currently, Ciaran Ryan-Anderson leads Quantinuum's US quantum error correction (QEC) team. His team is responsible for developing QEC experiments to run on current hardware and developing QEC architecture for future generations of Quantinuum devices. Additionally, Ciaran develops software to evaluate and explore QEC codes and protocols as well as to closely emulate Quantinuum's devices by simulating realistic noise models that are informed by tomographic experiments.
Abstract:
In this talk, I will give an overview of the most recent work Quantinuum has been doing in the field of experimental quantum error correction. This includes our work on implementing logical algorithms with QED codes, 4 dimensional surface codes, discovering new logical gates, real-time algorithmic decoding, and logical teleportation.
