A critical component of any quantum error-correcting scheme is detection of errors by using an ancilla system. However, errors occurring in the ancilla can propagate onto the logical qubit, irreversibly corrupting the encoded information.…

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…
