quantum error mitigation

Applications are invited for a PhD student in Controlling Errors in Quantum Computers under the supervision of Dr Zhenyu Cai at Imperial College London

This PhD project will focus on the single most pressing challenge in quantum computation: errors in these machines. The goal is to develop a "full-stack" approach to quantum error suppression, integrating strategies across all layers of the quantum computation stack.

Research on quantum error correction (QEC) or quantum error mitigation (QEM),
including subjects such as:

• topological codes, QLDPC codes, decoding, magic state generation,
• zero-noise extrapolation, probabilistic error cancellation, virtual distillation,
• hybrid QEC+QEM approaches
