Additionally, all off-campus attendees are required to upload proof of vaccination, including booster dose, via the IAS CrowdPass App 

Abstract: I will review recent progress connecting (quantum) codes with two-dimensional conformal field theories of the Narain type. In the first part of the talk I will show how codes can be used to construct CFTs with large spectral gap. In the second part I will construct a map from a large class of rational Narain CFTs to quantum stabilizer codes.
