Research interests Architectures for fault-tolerant quantum computing Topological error correcting codes Magic states Gate synthesis Majorana fermions and anyonic quantum computing Non-locality and foundations of quantum mechanics Qudit quantum computation The central question behind my research programme is 'What are the optimal blue-prints for large-scale, reliable quantum technologies?'. My main focus is fault-tolerance of quantum computation. My group designs protocols and software needed to operate future quantum computers, ensuring they would work reliably despite noise and decoherence. This includes development of error correction codes and decoders, design of magic state factories and compilation of algorithms into machine level commands. Magic state factories determine the processing speed of a quantum computers, so can be considered analogous to the CPU of conventional devices.
