Quantum Error Correction: Tutorial
The "friendly introduction" is web-based, most of the rest is in the form of downloadable pdf files, with some powerpoint presentations."A friendly introduction to quantum error correction." Try it!
"A tutorial on quantum error correction," A. M. Steane, Proceedings of the International School of Physics ``Enrico Fermi", course CLXII, ``Quantum Computers, Algorithms and Chaos'', G. Casati, D. L. Shepelyansky and P. Zoller, eds., pp. 1--32 (IOS Press, Amsterdam 2006). Arxiv pre-print, quant-ph/.
3 lectures on quantum error correction. This is a pdf file containing visual material for a set of 3 lectures introducing quantum error correction. It could be used in conjunction with the above tutorial article.
- Single-lecture introduction for a more mathematical audience: combined ppt and pdf. This goes faster (covering classical coding theory in 6 slides). Start with the ppt then go to the pdf file.
3 bit QEC example.[Warning: large file, 2 Mbyte]. The first (3 bit) example in the tutorial is worked through in this (web-converted) powerpoint presentation (very basic level, final year undergraduate or early graduate).
QEC, stabilizers and code construction.[Warning: large file, 1.7 Mbyte]. This is a brief powerpoint presentation of QEC ideas at a more advanced level. It can also be used in conjunction with the above. (graduate level).
Fault tolerance.[Warning: large file, 5.7 Mbyte]. This is a powerpoint presentation of the main ideas of fault-tolerance. (graduate level).
