Abstract: Quantum computing, a cutting-edge technology, relies on error-correcting codes to ensure accuracy. While classical error correction assumes an unbiased channel, the quantum realm presents unique challenges. In this talk, we explore the use of algebraic combinatorics in quantum error correction, specifically poset codes. These codes address coordinate prioritization. By incorporating poset codes, we tailor quantum error correction to specific requirements, enabling more efficient and reliable quantum computing systems. No prior knowledge is assumed. We provide a gentle introduction, showcase intriguing examples, and present recent results.
                                                     
Profile: Mahir Bilen Can is a Professor of Mathematics at Tulane University in New Orleans.
