Ciaran Ryan-Anderson - Experimental Quantum Error Correction at Quantinuum

Uploaded February 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Recorded 20 February 2026. Ciaran Ryan-Anderson of Quantinuum presents "Experimental Quantum Error Correction at Quantinuum" at IPAM's Bridging the Gap Between NISQ and FTQC Workshop.
Abstract: I will present an overview of recent quantum error correction (QEC) experiments at Quantinuum using trapped-ion QCCD processors. These experiments span the spectrum from quantum error detection and partially fault-tolerant techniques to fully fault-tolerant logical operations. I will discuss how real-time QEC, codes choices, and noise characterization methods contribute to the transition from NISQ-era devices toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing.
