QC Introductory Seminar: Introduction to quantum error correction and decoding algorithms for topological codes

Speaker: Ben Brown (​IBM).

Abstract: 
As a warmup for my seminar ‘Quantum computing with anyons is fault tolerant’, I will give a board talk about decoding algorithms for topological stabiliser codes. If there is time, I will briefly cover decoding for a non-Abelian anyon model.
The material I will cover is reviewed here https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/10048521.
I hope to also review the non-Abelian Clifford stabiliser code in section III in the following paper https://journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/10.1103/vrty-qs5h.
