What you will work towards

Construct stabilizer checks, interpret syndromes and assess a decoder under a specified noise model.

The practical task asks you to apply the concepts, justify your choices and communicate the assumptions and limits of your result.

Course outline

MODULE 01

Stabilizer formalism and code distance

MODULE 02

CSS and surface-code concepts

MODULE 03

decoding and logical error estimation

The outline defines this course’s intended scope. The detailed teaching sequence and preparation materials will be confirmed for the agreed delivery.

Practical work

A decoder comparison with documented noise models, sampling uncertainty and reproducible logical-error results.

Technical work is based on simulation, calculation or protocol analysis. Hardware access and laboratory sessions require a separately confirmed arrangement.

Assessment and feedback

The proposed review criteria are conceptual accuracy, a defensible method, clear evidence and appropriate treatment of assumptions and uncertainty.

Assessment format and feedback arrangements will be agreed before booking. No accreditation or external certification is claimed.
