The minimum weight perfect matching (MWPM) decoder is the standard decoding strategy for quantum surface codes. However, it suffers a harsh decrease in performance when subjected to biased or non-identical quantum noise. In this work, we…

We consider data transmission over a network where each edge is an erasure channel and where the inner nodes transmit a random linear combination of their incoming information. We distinguish two channel models in this setting, the row and…
