Abstract
The fragility of quantum states to perturbations is a major bottleneck towards useful quantum technologies, especially quantum computers. In principle, Quantum Error Correction schemes can tackle this problem, but this comes at huge hardware overhead costs. In this talk, after reviewing the problem, we would like to point out where tools from control theory may help design simpler solutions for protecting quantum information.
Biography
Alain Sarlette obtained a Master in Applied Physics and a PhD in Systems & Control Engineering from Liège University (Belgium) in 2005 and 2009 respectively, for which he was a co-recipient of the EECI PhD prize; and a Habilitation in Applied Maths from Sorbonne University (Paris, France). He has been a visiting scholar at Princeton University, Ecole des Mines de Paris and IIT Bombay among others. Since 2011, he has been a faculty member at Ghent University. Since 2014, he is mainly active as a researcher in the QUANTIC lab at inria Paris, with the aim to design and analyze dynamical systems for quantum information protection, in collaboration with experimental physicists implementing superconducting circuit qubits. He has been lecturing on quantum dynamical systems and on quantum computing at various summer schools and masters
