Title: Constructing Explicit Instances of Quantum Tanner Codes
Abstract: Quantum Tanner codes are a family of quantum error correcting codes which, when constructed using an appropriate choice of group and classical codes, are asymptotically good quantum low-density parity check (LDPC) codes. This work focuses on the explicit construction of small-scale instances of these codes using the GAP (Groups, Algorithms, Programming) framework and Matlab with the goal of understanding the properties of good codes more clearly and generating codes that may be suitable for practical implementation. In particular, we strive to understand which types of groups and classical codes produce good qLDPC codes and how the framework may be generalized.
Bio: Born and raised in New Haven, CT, USA, Rebecca earned her B.Sc. and M.Sc. in pure mathematics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), with a concentration on algebra. In January 2024, she joined the quantum theory group at the University of Sydney as a PhD candidate under the supervision of Prof. Stephen Bartlett and Prof. Andrew Doherty. Currently, Rebecca is working on quantum error correction with quantum LDPC codes.
This seminar will not be recorded.
