This specialized workshop centers around recent progress around robust quantum information storage in physical systems. Presentations will highlight the critical role of locality in three interconnected areas: self-correcting quantum memories, physical systems with enhanced quantum information retention capabilities, and cellular automaton decoders that effectively stabilize quantum states.
