Luogo: Aula Dal Passo, Dip. Matematica, Univ. Roma "Tor Vergata"
Speaker: Zhenghan Wang, Microsoft Station Q, Santa Barbara
Titolo: "Topological Quantum Computation"
Abstract: Topological phases of matter can be used to build inherently fault-tolerant quantum computers. I will give an introduction to this approach as pursued in Microsoft Station Q, where topological quantum field theories and modular categories play an essential role.
