We will go over the fundamentals of quantum error correction and fault tolerance and survey some of the recent developments in the field. Talk chair: Zhengwei Liu Registration：https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/3516062319845/WN_9Qb6IBIfQ0ujujfLvue2eA

Peter Williston Shor is an American professor of applied mathematics and computer science at MIT. He is a founder of quantum computation.  He designed an quantum algorithm factoring large numbers, well known as Shor’s algorithm, which is exponentially faster than best known algorithms running on classical computers theoretically. He constructed the the first quantum error-correcting code showing the possibility of fault-tolerant quantum computation. He was awarded many international prizes, including Nevanlinna Prize，Gödel Prize ， Dirac Medal，Micius Quantum Prize.
