Romanesco codes: Bias-tailored qLDPC codes from fractal codes

Catherine Leroux, Joseph K. Iverson

We introduce and analyze a family of Clifford-deformed bivariate bicycle codes that are tailored for biased noise. Our qLDPC codes are defined on a bipartite hexagonal lattice with…

Snakes and Ladders: Adapting the surface code to defects

Catherine Leroux, Sophia F. Lin, Przemyslaw Bienias +4

One of the critical challenges solid-state quantum processors face is the presence of fabrication imperfections and two-level systems, which render certain qubits and gates either…

Hybrid cat-transmon architecture for scalable, hardware-efficient quantum error correction

Connor T. Hann, Kyungjoo Noh, Harald Putterman +6

Dissipative cat qubits are a promising physical platform for quantum computing, since their large noise bias can enable more hardware-efficient quantum error correction. In this wo…

Preserving phase coherence and linearity in cat qubits with exponential bit-flip suppression

Harald Putterman, Kyungjoo Noh, Rishi N. Patel +17

Cat qubits, a type of bosonic qubit encoded in a harmonic oscillator, can exhibit an exponential noise bias against bit-flip errors with increasing mean photon number. Here, we foc…

Hardware-efficient quantum error correction via concatenated bosonic qubits

Harald Putterman, Kyungjoo Noh, Connor T. Hann +118

In order to solve problems of practical importance, quantum computers will likely need to incorporate quantum error correction, where a logical qubit is redundantly encoded in many…

Stabilizing a Bosonic Qubit using Colored Dissipation

Harald Putterman, Joseph Iverson, Qian Xu +4

Protected qubits such as the 0- qubit, and bosonic qubits including cat qubits and GKP qubits offer advantages for fault-tolerance. Some of these protected qubits (e.g., 0- q…

Engineering fast bias-preserving gates on stabilized cat qubits

Qian Xu, Joseph K Iverson, Fernando G. S. L. Brandao +1

Stabilized cat codes can provide a biased noise channel with a set of bias-preserving (BP) gates, which can significantly reduce the resource overhead for fault-tolerant quantum co…

Building a fault-tolerant quantum computer using concatenated cat codes

Christopher Chamberland, Kyungjoo Noh, Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola +13

We present a comprehensive architectural analysis for a proposed fault-tolerant quantum computer based on cat codes concatenated with outer quantum error-correcting codes. For the…

Quantum electrodynamics in a topological waveguide

Eunjong Kim, Xueyue Zhang, Vinicius S. Ferreira +7

While designing the energy-momentum relation of photons is key to many linear, non-linear, and quantum optical phenomena, a new set of light-matter properties may be realized by em…

Coherence in logical quantum channels

Joseph K. Iverson, John Preskill

We study the effectiveness of quantum error correction against coherent noise. Coherent errors (for example, unitary noise) can interfere constructively, so that in some cases the…
