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…
