Beyond Surface Code: Exploring Exotic Quantum Error‑Correction Zoo
I like to picture the space of error correction codes as a zoo with many exhibits. Many people are familiar with the surface code, it’s certainly the workhorse of our field. But there exist exotic codes that protect quantum information...

Intuitive Quantum Error Correction: Watrous & Qiskit Series
One of my favorite video series on quantum error correction comes from John Watrous and IBM Qiskit. This series does an excellent job of building intuition for how we protect fragile quantum information, beyond simply presenting the formalism.

Pauli Twirling + Probabilistic Cancellation Boost NISQ Fidelity
Back in 2023, I gave a series of lectures at the Boulder Summer School on then-recent techniques we developed for error mitigation in NISQ devices, specifically how to combine Pauli twirling with probabilistic error cancellation to improve fidelity in noisy...

Quantum Error Correction Defies Classical Intuition, Misconceptions Abound
One thing I didn’t fully appreciate early on while learning quantum error correction is just how far it can deviate from classical intuition. Along the way, I’ve run into some common misconceptions (which I still see often):
