Accelerating Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation with Good qLDPC Codes
Abstract
We propose a fault-tolerant quantum computation scheme that is broadly applicable to quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes. The scheme achieves constant qubit overhead and a time overhead of for any qLDPC code with constant encoding rate and distance . For good qLDPC codes, the time overhead is minimized and reaches . In contrast, code surgery based on gauging measurement and brute-force branching requires a time overhead of , where . Thus, our scheme is asymptotically faster for all codes with . This speedup is achieved by developing techniques that enable parallelized code surgery under constant qubit overhead and leverage classical locally testable codes for efficient resource state preparation. These results establish a new paradigm for accelerating fault-tolerant quantum computation on qLDPC codes, while maintaining low overhead and broad applicability.
