Error correction optimisation in the presence of X/Z asymmetry
arXiv:0709.3875
Abstract
By taking into account the physical nature of quantum errors it is possible to improve the efficiency of quantum error correction. Here we consider an optimisation to conventional quantum error correction which involves exploiting asymmetries in the rates of X and Z errors by reducing the rate of X correction. As an example, we apply this optimisation to the [[7,1,3]] code and make a comparison with conventional quantum error correction. After two levels of concatenated error correction we demonstrate a circuit depth reduction of at least 43% and reduction in failure rate of at least 67%. This improvement requires no additional resources and the required error asymmetry is likely to be present in most physical quantum computer architectures.
