I am moving back to web 1.0 . You can see our updates at brownlab.pratt.duke.edu . I leave you with a coffee cup and a toric code, which are topologically equivalent.

New paper on sideband cooling out. Read more and get the paper link here. brownlab.pratt.duke.edu/news/optimiz...

Demonstration of fault-tolerant Steane quantum error correction

Encoding information redundantly using quantum error-correcting (QEC) codes allows one to overcome the inherent sensitivity to noise in quantum computers to ultimately achieve large-scale quantum...

We compare to Shor-style syndrome extraction and find that Steane-style performs better.

New paper on implementing Steane-style syndrome extraction using ions and the Bacon-Shor code with Shilin Huang and Marko Cetina. arxiv.org/abs/2312.10851

New paper posted on on "Leveraging commuting groups for an efficient variational Hamiltonian ansatz" arXiv:2312.08502 with Abhinav Anand. arxiv.org/abs/2312.08502

New paper out on arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2311.16044 . You want to do quantum error correction. You trust your gates, but don't trust your measurements. How many extra measurements do you need? Eren and Andrew bring the number down for all stabilizer codes using BCH codes on the syndromes.

Brown lab and alumni at QEC 2023 (in case you don't follow my instagram). It was a great conference. Thanks @bartlettquantum.bsky.social for the local organizing!Brown lab and alumni at QEC 2023 (in case you don't follow my instagram). It was a great conference.
