Summer School on Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Error Correction at CWI Amsterdam

Leave a reply

Last week, during my vacation, I attended a research summer school in Amsterdam on QA and QEC. I found it quite interesting and informative. One main takeaway was the characterisation of a quantum computer as "a machine that most of the time performs quantum error correction and then a little bit of computation". Even if crypto-relevant quantum computers somehow never see the light of day, the mathematics involved is already quite interesting to me: primarily the construction of good quantum error-correcting codes, recent advances in quantum algorithm design via span programs, and the development of Quantum Linear Algebra and its applications.

CCA 2026 Conference

Leave a reply

This summer I had also attended the CCA 2026 conference. What was interesting is that this conference was a satellite conference of CiE 2026.

On the conference I had given two talks, one was joint work with Zvonko Iljazović and Lucija Validžić about computable homeomorphisms of connected spaces that have one-point metric basis. The second talk was my independent work on computability of the universal block diagonalizer for matrices that arise from the commutants of representations of finite groups.

Topology and its Applications Summer Conference 2026

Leave a reply

I attended the 40th Summer Conference on Topology and its Applications in Croatia, Split. I was an invited speaker and there I had presented joint work with Zvonko Iljazović and Lucija Validžić regarding computable homomorphisms for connected 1-manifolds (with or without boundary) and connections to previous results on computability of 1-manifolds.

The conference was quite large, but it was split into multiple tracks. My talk was part of the "Topology and Computing" track. You can find the abstract of the talk here: https://scholarlattice.org/events/a38cdf42-ebd0-49a8-8c24-fda0e703d945
