Dynamical codes for hardware with noisy readouts

Peter-Jan H. S. Derks, Alex Townsend-Teague, Jens Eisert +3

Dynamical stabilizer codes may offer a practical route to large-scale quantum computation. Such codes are defined by a schedule of error-detecting measurements, which allows for fl…

Floquetifying the Colour Code

Alex Townsend-Teague, Julio Magdalena de la Fuente, Markus Kesselring

Floquet codes are a recently discovered type of quantum error correction code. They can be thought of as generalising stabilizer codes and subsystem codes, by allowing the logical…

The domain wall color code

Konstantin Tiurev, Arthur Pesah, Peter-Jan H. S. Derks +4

We introduce the domain wall color code, a new variant of the quantum error-correcting color code that exhibits exceptionally high code-capacity error thresholds for qubits subject…

Anyon condensation and the color code

Markus S. Kesselring, Julio C. Magdalena de la Fuente, Felix Thomsen +3

The manipulation of topologically-ordered phases of matter to encode and process quantum information forms the cornerstone of many approaches to fault-tolerant quantum computing. H…

Low-overhead quantum computing with the color code

Felix Thomsen, Markus S. Kesselring, Stephen D. Bartlett +1

Fault-tolerant quantum computation demands significant resources: large numbers of physical qubits must be checked for errors repeatedly to protect quantum data as logic gates are…

Reinforcement Learning Decoders for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation

Ryan Sweke, Markus S. Kesselring, Evert P. L. van Nieuwenburg +1

Topological error correcting codes, and particularly the surface code, currently provide the most feasible roadmap towards large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation. As such,…

The boundaries and twist defects of the color code and their applications to topological quantum computation

Markus S. Kesselring, Fernando Pastawski, Jens Eisert +1

The color code is both an interesting example of an exactly solved topologically ordered phase of matter and also among the most promising candidate models to realize fault-toleran…

Combining Topological Hardware and Topological Software: Color Code Quantum Computing with Topological Superconductor Networks

Daniel Litinski, Markus S. Kesselring, Jens Eisert +1

We present a scalable architecture for fault-tolerant topological quantum computation using networks of voltage-controlled Majorana Cooper pair boxes, and topological color codes f…

Poking holes and cutting corners to achieve Clifford gates with the surface code

Benjamin J. Brown, Katharina Laubscher, Markus S. Kesselring +1

The surface code is currently the leading proposal to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computation. Among its strengths are the plethora of known ways in which fault-tolerant Cliffor…
