Composing Detector Error Models

Vadym Kliuchnikov, Justin Lietz, Fernando Pastawski

Fault-tolerant quantum programs thread together reusable logical operations, yet correcting errors requires comparing measurements across operation boundaries. Correlations tie eac…

Direct U(2) approximation via repeat-until-success circuits

Vadym Kliuchnikov, Jendrik Brachter, Marcus P. da Silva

We show how to directly and efficiently approximate arbitrary one-qubit unitaries, bypassing the Euler decomposition and the magnitude approximation problem, at the cost of one anc…

Clifford synthesis via generalized S and CZ gates

Vadym Kliuchnikov, Marcus P. da Silva

We show that any -qubit Clifford unitary can be implemented using at most multi-qubit joint measurements. All the multi-qubit joint measurements used for implementing the C…

A Topologically Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer with Four Dimensional Geometric Codes

David Aasen, Matthew B. Hastings, Vadym Kliuchnikov +8

Topological quantum codes are intrinsically fault-tolerant to local noise, and underlie the theory of topological phases of matter. We explore geometry to enhance the performance o…
