Automated Flag-based Fault-Tolerant State Preparation using Integer Linear Programming

Ben Criger, Aaron Hankin, Justin J. Burau +1

Post-selected stabilizer state preparation is a necessary subroutine in fault-tolerant quantum computation, both for initialization of logical qubits, and for logical-ancilla-based…

Digital quantum magnetism on a trapped-ion quantum computer

Reza Haghshenas, Eli Chertkov, Michael Mills +56

Digital quantum matter -- realized when discrete quantum gates approximate continuous time evolution -- is susceptible to heating into chaotic, structureless states. If digitizatio…

Topological Order from Measurements and Feed-Forward on a Trapped Ion Quantum Computer

Mohsin Iqbal, Nathanan Tantivasadakarn, Thomas M. Gatterman +13

Quantum systems evolve in time in one of two ways: through the Schrödinger equation or wavefunction collapse. So far, deterministic control of quantum many-body systems in the lab…

Characterizing a non-equilibrium phase transition on a quantum computer

Eli Chertkov, Zihan Cheng, Andrew C. Potter +13

At transitions between phases of matter, physical systems can exhibit universal behavior independent of their microscopic details. Probing such behavior in quantum many-body system…

Implementing Fault-tolerant Entangling Gates on the Five-qubit Code and the Color Code

C. Ryan-Anderson, N. C. Brown, M. S. Allman +34

We compare two different implementations of fault-tolerant entangling gates on logical qubits. In one instance, a twelve-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer is used to implement a n…

Theory of mirror benchmarking and demonstration on a quantum computer

Karl Mayer, Alex Hall, Thomas Gatterman +8

A new class of protocols called mirror benchmarking was recently proposed to measure the system-level performance of quantum computers. These protocols involve circuits with random…
