Demonstrating non-Abelian braiding of surface code defects in a five qubit experiment
James R. Wootton
Currently, the mainstream approach to quantum computing is through surface codes. One way to store and manipulate quantum information with these to create defects in the codes whic…
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…
A proposal for a minimal surface code experiment
James R. Wootton, Andreas Peter, Janos R. Winkler +1
Current quantum technology is approaching the system sizes and fidelities required for quantum error correction. It is therefore important to determine exactly what is needed for p…
Conformal energy currents on the edge of a topological superconductor
Chris N. Self, Jiannis K. Pachos, James R. Wootton +1
The boundary of a 2D topological superconductor can be modeled by a conformal field theory. Here we demonstrate the behaviors of this high level description emerging from a microsc…
