In this episode, Mira and Chris talk with Markus Müller, a member of ML4Q and Professor at RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich. Markus, an expert in quantum error correction, explains its importance in building large-scale quantum computers. He has supported pioneering logical qubit experiments on various platforms, including ion traps and superconducting qubits. They also discuss his recent work on avoiding mid-circuit measurements, a technique that benefits certain architectures and chip designs.
