SUMMARY:Robust Characterization of Quantum Processes - Kimmel\, S (Massach
 usetts Institute of Technology)

CONTACT:Mustapha Amrani
DESCRIPTION:Accurate characterization of quantum processes is critical for
  the scaling of quantum computing systems. Understanding the errors that o
 ccur in physical systems will both inform the design of future quantum com
 puters and the design of error correcting codes. However\, many characteri
 zation procedures suffer from systematic errors because they assume state 
 preparation\, measurement\, and other controlling gates are error free. In
  this talk I will describe a method that can provide estimates of almost a
 ll parameters of a quantum map\, yet is robust to many types of errors.\n
