- Abstract summary: We introduce a surface code design based on the fact that bit flip and phase flip errors in quantum systems are asymmetric.
We show that, compared to symmetric surface codes, our asymmetric surface codes can provide almost double the pseudo-threshold rates.
As the asymmetry of the surface code increases, the advantage in the pseudo-threshold rates begins to saturate for any degree of asymmetry in the channel.

- Abstract: Surface codes are quantum error correcting codes normally defined on 2D
arrays of qubits. In this paper, we introduce a surface code design based on
the fact that the severity of bit flip and phase flip errors in the physical
quantum systems is asymmetric. For our proposed surface code design for
asymmetric error channels, we present pseudo-threshold and threshold values in
the presence of various degrees of asymmetry of Pauli $\hat{X}$, $\hat{Y}$, and
$\hat{Z}$ errors in a depolarization channel. We show that, compared to
symmetric surface codes, our asymmetric surface codes can provide almost double
the pseudo-threshold rates while requiring less than half the number of
physical qubits in the presence of increasing asymmetry in the error channel.
We also demonstrate that as the asymmetry of the surface code increases, the
advantage in the pseudo-threshold rates begins to saturate for any degree of
asymmetry in the channel.

Convolutions encode equivariance symmetries into neural networks leading to better generalisation performance.
symmetries provide fixed hard constraints on the functions a network can represent, need to be specified in advance, and can not be adapted.
Our goal is to allow flexible symmetry constraints that can automatically be learned from data using gradients.
