Abstract
Quantum computers hold the promise of solving problems beyond the reach of classical machines, such as prime factorization. However, to fully realize their potential, we must address the challenges posed by noise during computation. Quantum error correction (QEC) tackles this issue by encoding quantum information with redundant resources, extracting error syndromes during execution, and correcting predicted errors. In this talk, we will discuss how to implement fault-tolerant quantum computation using the 2D planar surface code. We will explore both the progress and the experimental challenges of realizing surface code computation on superconducting quantum computers. Finally, we will introduce the TQEC project, which focuses on building tools for representing, constructing, and compiling fault-tolerant quantum computations based on surface code and lattice surgery.
