Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing with Photonics – Dr. Eli Bourassa (Xanadu)
September 19, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Title: Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing with Photonics
Speaker: Dr. Eli Bourassa, Xanadu
Date and time: Sept. 19, 2023, 5-6 pm
Location: Medical Sciences Building, Room MS 3278, 1 King’s College Cir, Toronto, ON M5S 1A8
Abstract: This talk will present an overview of Xanadu’s proposal for a scalable and fault-tolerant photonic quantum computer. Central to the architecture are Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill bosonic qubits, entangled together in space and time to form a qubit cluster state that is a resource for fault-tolerant, measurement-based quantum computation.
Short Bio:
Eli Bourassa is a Lead Quantum Architecture Scientist at Xanadu, where he designs fault-tolerant photonic quantum computers based on bosonic qubits. Previously, Eli completed a PhD in Physics at the University of Toronto (U of T), with a focus on photonic quantum computing and quantum key distribution.
