<span style="" class="">Abstract: Bosonic quantum error correction is a viable option for realizing error-corrected quantum information processing in continuous-variable bosonic systems. Various single-mode bosonic codes such as cat, binomial, and GKP codes
have been implemented experimentally in circuit QED and trapped ion systems. Moreover, there have been many theoretical proposals to scale up such single-mode bosonic codes to realize large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this talk, I will consider
the concatenation of the single-mode GKP code with the surface code, namely, the surface-GKP code. In particular, I will present a thorough fault-tolerance analysis of the surface-GKP code. Most importantly, I will demonstrate that the required resource overhead
associated with the use of the surface code can be significantly reduced if one uses bosonic GKP qubits instead of bare qubits such as transmon qubits or trapped-ion qubits.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

To be added to the mailing list please contact:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="mailto:kgui@uchicago.edu" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114); text-decoration: underline;" class="">kgui@uchicago.edu</a><b class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></b></div>

The main focus of the presentations will be research related to QIP theory and systems, including but not limited to quantum information theory, quantum computing, quantum error correction, quantum engineering theory, quantum metrology, and quantum simulation.
Although the focus of the club is tailored towards quantum theory and systems groups, experimental quantum groups are also welcomed to participate.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

During these meetings, one or two speakers will present their own research or review the work of other scientists. The speakers will be drawn mostly from PhD students, post-docs, faculty, and research scientists from UChicago and Argonne. We also plan to occasionally
invite external speakers from other institutions and industries, depending on the interests of the club participants.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
