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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Quantum error correction below the surface code threshold
Rajeev Acharya, Laleh Aghababaie-Beni, Igor Aleiner +246
Quantum error correction provides a path to reach practical quantum computing by combining multiple physical qubits into a logical qubit, where the logical error rate is suppressed…
Learning to Decode the Surface Code with a Recurrent, Transformer-Based Neural Network
Johannes Bausch, Andrew W Senior, Francisco J H Heras +15
Quantum error-correction is a prerequisite for reliable quantum computation. Towards this goal, we present a recurrent, transformer-based neural network which learns to decode the…
