Fault-tolerant quantum architectures based on erasure qubits
arXiv:2312.14060 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.7.013249
Abstract
The overhead of quantum error correction (QEC) poses a major bottleneck for realizing fault-tolerant computation. To reduce this overhead, we exploit the idea of erasure qubits, relying on an efficient conversion of the dominant noise into erasures at known locations. We start by introducing a formalism for QEC schemes with erasure qubits and express the corresponding decoding problem as a matching problem. Then, we propose and optimize QEC schemes based on erasure qubits and the recently-introduced Floquet codes. Our schemes are well-suited for superconducting circuits, being compatible with planar layouts. We numerically estimate the memory thresholds for the circuit noise model that includes spreading (via entangling operations) and imperfect detection of erasures. Our results demonstrate that, despite being slightly more complex, QEC schemes based on erasure qubits can significantly outperform standard approaches.
