Fault tolerance is essential for reliable quantum computation because quantum information (qubits) is inherently fragile. This workshop gathers experts on two primary, interconnected thrusts to advance fault-tolerant quantum computing: quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes and the Clifford hierarchy. Several families of qLDPC codes have been constructed recently, including quantum Tanner, hypergraph product, and lifted product codes. While they perform well when paired with iterative decoders, their capabilities remain to be fully understood. In particular, it remains an open question how to employ these constructions to achieve provably strong performance in practical (finite-length) settings and to describe decoding failures. Another key challenge is to leverage the Clifford hierarchy, the first two levels of which are the Pauli group and Clifford group, respectively. Because a classical computer can efficiently simulate the Clifford group, additional gates are needed for quantum computation. There are synergies across these thrusts, especially the theory of qLDPC codes that respect gates that support fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Quantum Computing

Step into a world where quantum, AI, and HPC collide to redefine what’s possible. Breakthroughs aren’t just happening- - they’re being deployed. From national security to healthcare, finance, climate, and logistics, the technologies shaping tomorrow are here today.

The Quantum Science GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

The Quantum Science GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes an array of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.
