Date: 2nd July 2025, 10am – 4pm
Venue: Technology and Innovation Centre, Strathclyde University, Glasgow, UK
As part of the Quantum Fringe 2025 events taking place this summer, the QCA Cluster are supporting a one day workshop on error correction in neutral atom arrays. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on quantum error correction in neutral atom tweezer arrays, covering both experimental platforms and active work on the development of error correction codes and decoders in the context of neutral atom arrays.
Confirmed Speakers: Oliver Brown (Edinburgh), Madelyn Cain (Harvard), Kieran Craig (Strathclyde), Simon Cornish (Durham), Linnea Grans-Samuelsson (Oxford), Stergios Koutsioumpas (Edinburgh), Joschka Roffe (Edinburgh), Nicholas Spong (NQCC), Stefano Veroni (Oxford)
