- Abstract:
I will provide a high-level introduction to Majorana qubits and show some recent experimental results at Microsoft that realize these in nanowire devices. I will then present a potential computing stack for a topological quantum computer based on Majorana qubits and provide some estimates about the capabilities of such a machine on some applications of scientific and industrial value.
This event starts at 3:30pm with refreshments, followed at 3:45pm by a short presentation titled "Efficient implementation of qLDPC codes with neutral atom qubits", by Cody Poole (Saffman group). The invited presentation starts at 4pm.
