• Authors: Rebecca Hicks, Bryce Kobrin, Christian W. Bauer, Benjamin Nachman
• Abstract summary: We propose a scheme to actively reduce readout errors on a shot-by-shot basis by encoding single qubits, immediately prior to readout, into multi-qubit states. We analyze the potential of our approach using two types of error-correcting codes and, as a proof of principle, demonstrate an 80% improvement in readout error on the IBMQ Mumbai quantum computer.

• Abstract: Mitigating errors is a significant challenge for near term quantum computers. One of the most important sources of errors is related to the readout of the quantum state into a classical bit stream. A variety of techniques have been proposed to mitigate these errors with post-hoc corrections. We propose a complementary scheme to actively reduce readout errors on a shot-by-shot basis by encoding single qubits, immediately prior to readout, into multi-qubit states. The computational resources of our technique are independent of the circuit depth and fully compatible with current hardware error rates and connectivity. We analyze the potential of our approach using two types of error-correcting codes and, as a proof of principle, demonstrate an 80% improvement in readout error on the IBMQ Mumbai quantum computer.

  The original Steane code is not fault-tolerant because the CNOT gates in an encoded block may cause error propagation. We first propose a fault-tolerant encoding and decoding scheme, which analyzes all possible errors caused by each quantum gate in an error-correction period. We then provide the fault-tolerant scheme of the universal quantum gate set, including fault-tolerant preparation and verification of ancillary states.

• Graph-Theoretic Approach to Quantum Error Correction [0.0]
  We investigate a novel class of quantum error correcting codes to correct errors on both qubits and higher-state quantum systems represented as qudits. These codes arise from an original graph-theoretic representation of sets of quantum errors. We present two instances of optimal encodings: an optimal encoding for fully correlated noise which achieves a higher encoding rate than previously known, and a minimal encoding for single qudits.

We implement 1D repetition codes embedded in a 2D grid of superconducting qubits which demonstrate exponential suppression of bit or phase-flip errors.
