Join QuEra Computing’s Chen, Harry, and Tommaso Macrì for a deep dive into transversal algorithmic fault tolerance, a powerful approach to accelerate quantum error correction (QEC) in neutral-atom systems.

In this webinar, Chen presents research (in collaboration with Harvard, Yale, and AWS) showing how correlated decoding can dramatically reduce the overhead required for fault-tolerant quantum computing. He explains how transversal gates, when paired with algorithm-wide decoding strategies, allow for constant-round syndrome extraction—enabling faster and more efficient logical operations.

Key topics include:
• Basics of QEC and surface codes
• Transversal gates and their unique suitability for neutral-atom platforms
• How correlated error patterns can improve decoding thresholds
• New threshold theorems enabling fault-tolerant Clifford circuits with minimal time overhead
• Extensions to universal quantum computing via adaptive measurements and feedforward
• Practical implications for magic state distillation and large-scale algorithms

Harry provides additional context on implementation progress and future directions for hardware architecture and real-time decoding.
