Quantum error-correction meets high dimensional expansion — complexity hops on the boat

"QEC meets HDX" (this workshop has been postponed)


Organizers: Irit Dinur and Thomas Vidick
Venue: The beautiful Lopatie conference center, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. The Institute is easily accessible from Tel-Aviv (30 min train) or the Ben-Gurion airport (30 min drive).
Dates: January 7-11, 2024 January 5-9, 2025, we will update as soon as we have more details

This workshop will bring together researchers in the areas of quantum error-correction, high-dimensional expansion, locally testable codes, and classical and quantum complexity theory. The goal of the workshop is to enable researchers from these recently overlapping communities to exchange research ideas, develop a common language, and build new collaborations at this exciting interface. The workshop will feature long-form research talks on recent results on constructions of quantum codes, high-dimensional expanders, and their application to complexity; as well as more open-ended discussion sessions to present or brainstorm more recent and “half-baked” ideas.

Tentative list of topics:


Registration: Registration is free but mandatory. Check here soon for a link to the registration page.

Schedule: The workshop will have 3.5 days of talks, with ample time left for interaction and discussion. There will be a 1/2 day excursion and a conference dinner.

Financial support: We have limited financial support for postdocs, students, minority participants, and participants unable to cover their travel expenses. Please contact us if you fall in this category.
