Realizing a class of stabilizer quantum error correction codes using a single ancilla and circular connectivity

Abstract

We describe a class of "neighboring-blocks" stabilizer quantum error correction codes and demonstrate that such class of codes can be implemented in a resource-efficient manner using a single ancilla and circular near-neighbor qubit connectivity. We propose an implementation for syndrome-measurement circuits for codes from the class and illustrate its workings for cases of 3-qubit repetition code, Laflamme's 5-qubit code, and Shor's 9-qubit code. For 3-qubit repetition code and Laflamme's 5-qubit code suggested scheme has the property that it uses only native two-qubit CNS gates, which potentially reduces the amount of non-correctable errors due to the shorter gate time. Elements of the scheme can be used to implement surface code with near-neighbour connectivity using single ancilla, as demonstrated in an example. We developed efficient decoding procedures for repetition codes and the Laflamme's 5-qubit code using a minimum weight-perfect matching approach to account for the specific order of measurements in our scheme. The analysis of noise levels for which the scheme could show improvements in the fidelity of a stored logical qubit in the 3-qubit repetition code and Laflamme's 5-qubit code cases is provided. We complement our results by realizing the developed scheme for a 3-qubit code using an IBM quantum processor and the Laflamme's 5-qubit code using the state-vector simulator.
