Towards Scalable Bosonic Quantum Error Correction

Quantum Physics 2020-06-08 v3

Abstract

We review some of the recent efforts in devising and engineering bosonic qubits for superconducting devices, with emphasis on the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubit. We present some new results on decoding repeated GKP error correction using finitely-squeezed GKP ancilla qubits, exhibiting differences with previously studied stochastic error models. We discuss circuit-QED ways to realize CZ gates between GKP qubits and we discuss different scenario's for using GKP and regular qubits as building blocks in a scalable superconducting surface code architecture.
