Dmitry Green’s talk for the New York Quantum Computing Meetup will pair questions about topological quantum computing’s trade-offs and current state with an account of research progress toward realizing the approach.

All times are local to the venue · America/New York
This edition of the New York Quantum Computing Meetup is built around a progression from the big questions to work in progress: physicist and quantum-technology investor Dmitry Green plans to discuss what topological quantum computing is, weigh its trade-offs and describe recent progress with collaborators at the University of Chicago, Purdue, Delft and other institutions.
The announced talk moves from defining topological quantum computing to considering its trade-offs and the field’s state of the art. Green also plans to present recent progress toward making the approach a reality, including new results from work with colleagues at the University of Chicago, Purdue, Delft and other institutions.
That pairing gives the session both a broad and a current focus: the subject is not only how this approach is framed, but also what Green says his research group and collaborators have recently advanced. The listing does not name particular results or explain the technical trade-offs, so attendees should not expect a more detailed project description from the published outline.

The New York Quantum Computing Meetup describes its wider purpose as bringing together enthusiasts and practitioners from industry and universities to discuss developments in quantum-computing hardware and software. That is the group’s general remit, not a promise of a hardware or software demonstration at this particular gathering: the Nov. 16 listing names Green’s talk and no separate demonstration.
