Dripto Debroy - Adapting QEC circuits to dropout using LUCI

Uploaded February 2026 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Recorded 20 February 2026. Dripto Debroy of Google presents "Adapting QEC circuits to dropout using LUCI" at IPAM's Bridging the Gap Between NISQ and FTQC Workshop.
Abstract: As we scale quantum computers beyond the scale of NISQ systems, we will need to start using chips that have some defective components, known as dropouts. In this talk, I will describe a series of works that we've put out in the last two years discussing this issue, and improving the techniques via which we can adapt surface code circuits to dropout.

$Jakob Kottman - Holistic Approaches to Quantum Computation: Software and Algorithmics Recorded 19 February 2026. Jakob Kottman of Universität Augsburg presents Holistic Approaches to Quantum Computation: Software and Algorithmics at IPAMs Bridging the Gap Between NISQ and FTQC Workshop. Abstract: A significant fraction of present-day quantum algorithmic research relies on numerical procedures to gain further insights and explore new applications. Here, one typically deals with numerous interconnected classical and quantum algorithmic components. In this talk, I will illustrate how quantum algorithmics and scientific software development can form a powerful symbiosis to tackle problems in electronic structure Learn more online at: https://www.ipam.ucla.edu/programs/workshops/bridging-the-gap-between-nisq-and-ftqc/$
