DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/SIMBa/19/">C
 oding theory: into the quantum world</a>\nby Robin Simoens (Universitat Po
 litècnica de Catalunya) as part of Barcelona Mathematics Informal Seminar
  (SIMBa)\n\nLecture held in UPC FME\, Aula 005.\n\nAbstract\nClassical err
 or-correcting codes were introduced in 1950 by Richard Hamming and are now
  well-developed. They are built upon the idea of adding redundant informat
 ion to protect against errors. In 1995\, Peter Shor showed that this idea 
 can be carried into the quantum world\, giving rise to quantum error-corre
 cting codes\, which play a central role in the realisation of quantum comp
 uters. In this talk\, I will give an introduction to both classical and qu
 antum codes\, pointing out their differences and similarities.\n
