• Abstract summary: We show that quantum programs can tolerate non-trivial errors and still produce usable output. In addition, we propose using variable strength (distance) error correction, where overhead can be reduced by only protecting more sensitive parts of the quantum program with high distance codes.

• Abstract: Quantum error correction is capable of digitizing quantum noise and increasing the robustness of qubits. Typically, error correction is designed with the target of eliminating all errors - making an error so unlikely it can be assumed that none occur. In this work, we use statistical quantum fault injection on the quantum phase estimation algorithm to test the sensitivity to quantum noise events. Our work suggests that quantum programs can tolerate non-trivial errors and still produce usable output. We show that it may be possible to reduce error correction overhead by relaxing tolerable error rate requirements. In addition, we propose using variable strength (distance) error correction, where overhead can be reduced by only protecting more sensitive parts of the quantum program with high distance codes.

  Many current quantum error correcting codes that achieve full fault-tolerance suffer from having low ratios of logical to physical qubits and significant overhead. We propose a middle ground: constructions in the [[n,n-2,2]] quantum error detecting code that can detect any error from a single faulty gate.

  We propose a unified framework that can mitigate quantum gate and measurement errors in computing quantum expectation values. The essential idea is to cancel the effect of quantum error by approximating its inverse via linearly combining quantum errors of different orders. We test this framework for different quantum errors and find that the computation accuracy is substantially improved.

  We show that a stabilizer code can be used to estimate Pauli channels with correlations across a number of qubits given by the pure distance. It also allows for measurement errors within the framework of quantum data-syndrome codes. It is our hope that this work opens up interesting applications, such as the online adaptation of a decoder to time-varying noise.

• Crosstalk Suppression for Fault-tolerant Quantum Error Correction with Trapped Ions [62.997667081978825]
  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.

• Fault-tolerant Coding for Quantum Communication [71.206200318454]
  encode and decode circuits to reliably send messages over many uses of a noisy channel. For every quantum channel $T$ and every $eps>0$ there exists a threshold $p(epsilon,T)$ for the gate error probability below which rates larger than $C-epsilon$ are fault-tolerantly achievable. Our results are relevant in communication over large distances, and also on-chip, where distant parts of a quantum computer might need to communicate under higher levels of noise.
