Resilience of the surface code to error bursts
Shi Jie Samuel Tan, Christopher A. Pattison, Matt McEwen +1
Quantum error correction works effectively only if the error rate of gate operations is sufficiently low. However, some rare physical mechanisms can cause a temporary increase in t…

Efficient soft-output decoders for the surface code
Nadine Meister, Christopher A. Pattison, John Preskill
Decoders that provide an estimate of the probability of a logical failure conditioned on the error syndrome ("soft-output decoders") can reduce the overhead cost of fault-tolerant…
