Topological and subsystem codes on low-degree graphs with flag qubits

C Chamberland, G Zhu, TJ Yoder, JB Hertzberg… - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
In this work we introduce two code families, which we call the heavy-hexagon code and the
heavy-square code. Both code families are implemented by assigning physical data and …

Fault-tolerant bosonic quantum error correction with the surface–Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill code

Fracton phases exhibit striking behavior which appears to render them beyond the standard
topological quantum field theory (TQFT) paradigm for classifying gapped quantum matter …

The ZX calculus is a language for surface code lattice surgery

N de Beaudrap, D Horsman - Quantum, 2020 - quantum-journal.org
A leading choice of error correction for scalable quantum computing is the surface code with
lattice surgery. The basic lattice surgery operations, the merging and splitting of logical …

A mathematical theory of gapless edges of 2d topological orders. Part I

L Kong, H Zheng - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract This is the first part of a two-part work on a unified mathematical theory of gapped
and gapless edges of 2d topological orders. We analyze all the possible observables on the …

Enhanced noise resilience of the surface–Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill code via designed bias

L Hänggli, M Heinze, R König - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
We study the code obtained by concatenating the standard single-mode Gottesman-Kitaev-
Preskill (GKP) code with the surface code. We show that the noise tolerance of this surface …

[HTML][HTML] Reinforcement learning for optimal error correction of toric codes

LD Colomer, M Skotiniotis, R Muñoz-Tapia - Physics Letters A, 2020 - Elsevier
We apply deep reinforcement learning techniques to design high threshold decoders for the
toric code under uncorrelated noise. By rewarding the agent only if the decoding procedure …
