Low-Overhead Quantum Error Correction with Boundary-Connected Planar Modules

Oscar Higgott, Hasan Sayginel, Francisco J. H. Heras +11

Realizing practical quantum computers requires quantum error correction, but the most widely implemented approach, the planar surface code, demands a substantial physical qubit ove…

Magic state cultivation on a superconducting quantum processor

Emma Rosenfeld, Craig Gidney, Gabrielle Roberts +292

Fault-tolerant quantum computing requires a universal gate set, but the necessary non-Clifford gates represent a significant resource cost for most quantum error correction archite…

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…

Low Depth Color Code Circuits with CXSWAP gate

Satoshi Yoshida, Craig Gidney, Matt McEwen +1

We present two new types of syndrome extraction circuits for the color code. Our first construction, which after [M. McEwen, D. Bacon, and C. Gidney, Quantum 7, 1172 (2023)] we cal…

Demonstrating dynamic surface codes

Alec Eickbusch, Matt McEwen, Volodymyr Sivak +204

A remarkable characteristic of quantum computing is the potential for reliable computation despite faulty qubits. This can be achieved through quantum error correction, which is ty…

LUCI in the Surface Code with Dropouts

Dripto M. Debroy, Matt McEwen, Craig Gidney +2

Recently, usage of detecting regions facilitated the discovery of new circuits for fault-tolerantly implementing the surface code. Building on these ideas, we present LUCI, a frame…

Relaxing Hardware Requirements for Surface Code Circuits using Time-dynamics

Matt McEwen, Dave Bacon, Craig Gidney

The typical time-independent view of quantum error correction (QEC) codes hides significant freedom in the decomposition into circuits that are executable on hardware. Using the co…

Benchmarking the Planar Honeycomb Code

Craig Gidney, Michael Newman, Matt McEwen

We improve the planar honeycomb code by describing boundaries that need no additional physical connectivity, and by optimizing the shape of the qubit patch. We then benchmark the c…
