Special Events and Conferences

The Challenge Institute for Quantum Computation (CIQC) together with the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) are pleased to present the Fifth annual Winter School in Quantum Information Science. This year’s school will return its focus to the topic of our first school, Quantum Error Correction, held in early 2021. Enormous progress has been made in the field, in particular experimental demonstrations of error suppression and mitigation schemes and demonstrations of a number of quantum error correcting codes. The school will provide an in-depth primer of classical and quantum error correction, a survey of recent experimental advances, and a tutorial on current research in advanced error correction approaches.

The school is aimed at experimentalists and new theory students working in quantum information science and related fields. We aim to convene a multidisciplinary group of students and researchers who will disseminate and accelerate developments in the field, and to draw on their own research to help inspire new approaches and application domains. Applications are now being accepted. Financial support will be offered  to young researchers subject to demonstrated need and availability.

Application deadline: Thursday December 5th at 11:59 pm PST
