Reinforcement Learning Control of Quantum Error Correction
Volodymyr Sivak, Alexis Morvan, Michael Broughton +296
Quantum error correction (QEC) is the primary strategy for protecting a quantum computer from the environment. Its prerequisite is that errors must remain sufficiently rare, which…
A scalable and real-time neural decoder for topological quantum codes
Andrew W. Senior, Thomas Edlich, Francisco J. H. Heras +21
Fault-tolerant quantum computing will require error rates far below those achievable with physical qubits. Quantum error correction (QEC) bridges this gap, but depends on decoders…
The unknotting number, hard unknot diagrams, and reinforcement learning
Taylor Applebaum, Sam Blackwell, Alex Davies +5
We have developed a reinforcement learning agent that often finds a minimal sequence of unknotting crossing changes for a knot diagram with up to 200 crossings, hence giving an upp…
Scaling and logic in the color code on a superconducting quantum processor
Nathan Lacroix, Alexandre Bourassa, Francisco J. H. Heras +212
Quantum error correction is essential for bridging the gap between the error rates of physical devices and the extremely low logical error rates required for quantum algorithms. Re…
