Quantum Error Correction with Dr. Todd Brun

Entangled Things

In Episode 52, Patrick and Ciprian speak with returning guest Todd Brun of the University of Southern California.
Among other topics, the team discuss error correction, non-Markovian errors, the limitations of current quantum processors and the battle between numbers of Qubits and amounts of noise.
Todd Brun is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics, and Computer Science at the University of Southern California. He does research on quantum theory, especially on the problems of quantum computing and quantum information science. Prof. Brun received his Ph.D. in Physics from Caltech in 1994, and did postdoctoral work at the University of London (Queen Mary and Westfield College), the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, Carnegie Mellon University, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, before starting at USC in 2003.
