Union-Find Decoders For Homological Product Codes

Nicolas Delfosse, Matthew B. Hastings

Homological product codes are a class of codes that can have improved distance while retaining relatively low stabilizer weight. We show how to build union-find decoders for these…

Short Shor-style syndrome sequences

Nicolas Delfosse, Ben W. Reichardt

We optimize fault-tolerant quantum error correction to reduce the number of syndrome bit measurements. Speeding up error correction will also speed up an encoded quantum computatio…

Optimization of the surface code design for Majorana-based qubits

Rui Chao, Michael E. Beverland, Nicolas Delfosse +1

The surface code is a prominent topological error-correcting code exhibiting high fault-tolerance accuracy thresholds. Conventional schemes for error correction with the surface co…

Beyond single-shot fault-tolerant quantum error correction

Nicolas Delfosse, Ben W. Reichardt, Krysta M. Svore

Extensive quantum error correction is necessary in order to perform a useful computation on a noisy quantum computer. Moreover, quantum error correction must be implemented based o…

Hierarchical decoding to reduce hardware requirements for quantum computing

Nicolas Delfosse

Extensive quantum error correction is necessary in order to scale quantum hardware to the regime of practical applications. As a result, a significant amount of decoding hardware i…

A Scalable Decoder Micro-architecture for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

Poulami Das, Christopher A. Pattison, Srilatha Manne +4

Quantum computation promises significant computational advantages over classical computation for some problems. However, quantum hardware suffers from much higher error rates than…
