Verification and Certification of Quantum Fault-Tolerance (VEQTOR)

Abstract

The main objective of VEQTOR is to develop scalable tools for characterizing, predicting and validating the operational primitives of fault-tolerant quantum information processing in a layered approach, encompassing the microscopic level, circuit operations, error correction primitives and complex logical operations. These protocols will be implemented, tested, and validated in an iontrap quantum computer exceeding 10 qubits and featuring exceptionally low error rates. This comprehensive toolset will allow for the efficient evaluation of fault-tolerant quantum logic and will guide the development of next-generation error-corrected quantum information processors. The collaboration is centered around experimental physicists Thomas Monz, Rainer Blatt and Philipp Schindler in Innsbruck/Austria (UIBK), and theoretical physicists around Markus M¬uller and David DiVincenzo in Aachen/Germany (RWTH), Alejandro Berm«udez in Madrid/Spain (UCM), Joseph Emerson and Joel Wallman in Waterloo/Canada (IQC), and Stephen Bartlett and Steven Flammia in Sydney/Australia (USyd).
