• Title: Between Shor and Steane: A unifying construction for measuring error syndromes
• Authors: Shilin Huang and Kenneth R. Brown
• Abstract summary: We find a unifying construction that generates a family of ancilla blocks that interpolate between Shor and Steane. This family increases the complexity of ancilla construction in exchange for reducing the rounds of measurement required to fault-tolerantly measure the error. Our method can be applied to any Calderbank-Shor-Steane codes and presents a new direction for optimizing fault-tolerant quantum computation.

• Abstract: Fault-tolerant quantum error correction requires the measurement of error syndromes in a way that minimizes correlated errors on the quantum data. Steane and Shor ancilla are two well-known methods for fault-tolerant syndrome extraction. In this paper, we find a unifying construction that generates a family of ancilla blocks that interpolate between Shor and Steane. This family increases the complexity of ancilla construction in exchange for reducing the rounds of measurement required to fault-tolerantly measure the error. We then apply this construction to the toric code of size $L\times L$ and find that blocks of size $m\times m$ can be used to decode errors in $O(L/m)$ rounds of measurements. Our method can be applied to any Calderbank-Shor-Steane codes and presents a new direction for optimizing fault-tolerant quantum computation.

  We analyze the experimental error budget of parametric resonance gates in a tunable coupler architecture. Incoherent errors, mainly arising from qubit relaxation and dephasing due to white noise, limit the fidelity of the two-qubit gates. Leakage to noncomputational states is the second largest contributor to the two-qubit gates infidelity.

  We present a study of crosstalk errors in a quantum-computing architecture based on a single string of ions confined by a radio-frequency trap, and manipulated by individually-addressed laser beams. This type of errors affects spectator qubits that, ideally, should remain unaltered during the application of single- and two-qubit quantum gates addressed at a different set of active qubits. We microscopically model crosstalk errors from first principles and present a detailed study showing the importance of using a coherent vs incoherent error modelling and, moreover, discuss strategies to actively suppress this crosstalk at the gate level.
