Hello Cameron Wellard

Two phat presentations from the 408 team yesterday. The first, We don’t need no “sticking” threshold and other reflections from upon the Bacon-Shor, advocated a common method for threshold estimation and discussed the relationship between universality, topology and the threshold. The second, Confirmation talk, discussed several general techniques which can be applied to quantum error correction and gate characterization that will increase the fidelity of logical gates.
