Error Correction in Quantum Computing

A day in Timișoara on the problem that stands between today's machines and useful ones: qubits lose their state, and every serious quantum computation has to survive that.

What we cover

Where the errors come from, what a logical qubit is and what it costs in physical ones, repetition and surface codes, and the difference between error mitigation — usable now — and full error correction.

Hands-on

You build a small code in Qiskit, inject noise, and watch what the decoder recovers and what it does not.

Who it is for

Students, researchers and engineers who have written quantum circuits before and want to understand why results drift — and what is being done about it.

The detailed programme, the speakers and the exact hours will be published here as they are confirmed.
