Explore the foundations of error-correcting codes in this lecture by Venkatesan Guruswami from UC Berkeley, part of the "Kaapi with Kuriosity" series at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Discover how mathematical constructs create resilience in digital communication through carefully designed redundancy, allowing for detection and correction of errors within anticipated limits. Learn about fundamental principles behind error-correcting codes, notable constructions, and applications in communication systems and beyond, with possible insights into quantum error-correction challenges. The speaker, a Chancellor's Professor and Interim Director of the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing, brings expertise as an accomplished theoretical computer scientist with numerous prestigious recognitions including ACM, IEEE, and AMS fellowships. The talk takes place at Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium on May 10, 2025.
