SUMMARY:Scalable control of quantum systems
DESCRIPTION:Conférence de Raymond Laflamme\, lauréat 2017 du Prix ACP-CRM
 \, Mike and Ophelia Lazaridis “John von Neumann” Chair in Quantum Info
 rmation\, Institute for Quantum Computing\, University of Waterloo
\nRésu
 mé :Quantum information processing promise to develop computing\, communi
 cation or sensing devices that are more powerful than their classical coun
 terparts. It does so by encoding and manipulating information in states th
 at are either difficult or impossible to reach classically. Unfortunately 
 these states are typically extremely fragile. To turn the ideas of quantum
  information processing into reality\, we need to make quantum information
  robust to imperfection and imprecision inherent to realistic devices. In 
 the mid 1990's\, a theory of quantum error correction was discovered and a
 ccuracy threshold theorems were proved showing that error can be controlle
 d using a reasonable amount of resources as long as the error rate is smal
 ler than a certain threshold. I will describe how quantum error correction
  works and talk about recent progress in this field both in theoretically 
 and experimentally.
