Sommario
On Friday, December 12, 2025, we will have a new talk for the series #NECSTFridayTalk.During this talk, we will have, as speaker, Beatrice Branchini, PhD at Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria.
Quantum computing can deliver significant performance advantages over classical architectures; however, current quantum processing units are still limited by noise and imperfect qubit reliability. Quantum error correction (QEC) is therefore essential to scalable quantum systems, yet its deployment is often constrained by the latency and implementation cost of decoding. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) provide deterministic timing, fine-grained parallelism, and strong energy efficiency, making them a well-suited platform for QEC decoding engines. This talk will demonstrate how FPGA technology can be systematically leveraged to design and evaluate high-performance QEC decoders. It will introduce a set of evaluation pillars that establish a common framework for benchmarking FPGA-based QEC solutions, and will present methodologies for accelerating QEC decoding on FPGAs.
The NECSTLab is a DEIB laboratory, with different research lines on advanced topics in computing systems: from architectural characteristics, to hardware-software codesign methodologies, to security and dependability issues of complex system architectures.
