The President of the Xunta de Galicia, Alfonso Rueda Valenzuela, and the Chancellor of the University of Santiago de Compostela, Antonio López Díaz, will attend the inauguration ceremony of the new headquarters of the IGFAE The event will begin at 12:00 noon.

Quantum error correction (QEC) protects quantum information by adding redundancies that help detect and correct errors. Understanding the limitations of QEC under different noise sources is crucial for the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers. In this talk, I will address the challenge of determining the fundamental (optimal) error correction thresholds of QEC codes using the coherent information (CI) of the mixed-state density matrix associated with these codes. This new approach allows us to obtain accurate optimal thresholds from small-sized codes (PRR L042014, 2024) and study optimal thresholds under erasure errors and computational errors together in a rigorous manner (arXiv:2412.16727). I will also discuss how this approach to fundamental thresholds has led to new insights at the interface of quantum information, condensed matter physics, and statistical mechanics and its potential application to problems in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondance.

In the framework of TechLab programme, IGFAE organises on 16 June a special knowledge transfer day in collaboration with Insight Gravity, an entity specialised in the valorisation and commercialisation of scientific results.

During the session, several IGFAE teams will present their projects following a common structure that facilitates analysis and debate. The activity will include short presentations, spaces for questions and discussion, as well as a coffee-networking to encourage the exchange of ideas. The main objective is to identify opportunities for technology transfer and to receive concrete recommendations on next steps for each project.

Programme:

• 10:00 Welcome and objectives of the day

• 10:05 Presentation and introduction of Insight Gravity

• 10:20 Presentation of capabilities and ideas – Part I
• (5 minutes per presentation + 10-15 minutes for questions and discussion)
• Julio Nóvoa & Cristina López
• Aarón Alejo
• Alicia Muñoz

• 11:30 Coffee Break

• 12:00 Presentation of capabilities and ideas – Part II
• (5 minutes per presentation + 10-15 minutes for questions and discussion)
• Kostas Rigatos
• Antonio Fernández
• Yassid Ayyad (to be confirmed)
• Carlos Hervés (to be confirmed)

• 13:30 Summary, discussion, networking, recommendations, etc.

• 14:00 End of the session

The program of the workshop will cover the status of the various aspects of the R&D, from ASIC and sensors to the module design, mechanics and motion, vacuum aspects and RF-shield, as well as outline the timeline and the key technoilogical choices that will have to be done in the coming years.

The workshop is planned to start on Wednesday 11th of June and continue till the Friday 13th of june. A complete timetable is being prepared and the sessions defined in the timetable section.

A Alameda de Santiago é o escenario de Compos(tech)la, un dos múltiples eventos do proxecto Santiago en Vivo para fortalecer o tecido empresarial e dinamizar a economía. A feira tecnolóxica contará co protagonismo da Universidade de Santiago, que levará durante o sábado e o domingo ao parque compostelán algúns dos seus centros de investigación e servizos.

Así, xa dende o sábado ás 10.00 horas, quen discorra pola Alameda poderá asistir á demostración dunha tecnoloxía innovadora realizada no CRETUS que emprega bacterias para transformar aceite usado en bioplásticos, vivir distintas experiencias inmersivas e visuais da man do Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) ou coñecer liñas de traballo do CiTIUS sobre Intelixencia Artificial ou realidade virtual.
