For quantum error correction codes the required number of measurement rounds typically increases with the code distance when measurements are faulty. Single-shot error correction allows for an error threshold with only one round of noisy…
Given that quantum error correction processes are unreliable, an efficient error syndrome extraction circuit should use fewer ancillary qubits, quantum gates, and measurements, while maintaining low circuit depth, to minimizing the circuit…
Surface codes based on stabilizer circuits may pave the way for large scale fault-tolerant quantum computation. The surface code uses only single- and two-qubit gates and the error threshold falls close to 1% for a large range of errors.…
We develop an error-corrected quantum computation scheme based on concatenating the five-qubit Laflamme code onto the four-qubit Iceberg code. The approach skates a thin line: it is explicitly not fault tolerant, risking higher logical…
Quantum error correction (QEC) with single-shot decoding enables reduction of errors after every single round of noisy stabilizer measurement, easing the time-overhead requirements for fault tolerance. Notably, several classes of quantum…
When storing encoded qubits, if single faults can be corrected and double faults postselected against, logical errors only occur due to at least three faults. At current noise rates, having to restart when two errors are detected prevents…
The construction of large, coherent quantum systems necessary for quantum computation remains an entreating but elusive goal, due to the ubiquitous nature of decoherence. Recent progress in quantum error correction schemes have given new…
