Description
This long program, hosted by the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at UCLA, is designed to advance the scientific foundations of quantum advantage. The initiative integrates research in quantum simulation, quantum error correction, early fault-tolerant algorithms, and quantum learning. The aim is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among leading researchers in mathematics, physics, computer science, and industry to define the capabilities of quantum computing in the early fault-tolerant era and to identify promising directions for future research. Participants will explore the design, benchmarking, and realization of fault-tolerant algorithms on emerging quantum hardware, leveraging advances in error correction to bridge theoretical models and experimental implementations.
