• Abstract: Executing quantum algorithms on error-corrected logical qubits is a critical step for scalable quantum computing, but the requisite numbers of qubits and physical error rates are demanding for current experimental hardware. Recently, the development of error correcting codes tailored to particular physical noise models has helped relax these requirements. In this work, we propose a qubit encoding and gate protocol for ${}^{171}$Yb neutral atom qubits that converts the dominant physical errors into erasures, that is, errors in known locations. The key idea is to encode qubits in a metastable electronic level, such that gate errors predominantly result in transitions to disjoint subspaces whose populations can be continuously monitored via fluorescence. We estimate that 98% of errors can be converted into erasures. We quantify the benefit of this approach via circuit-level simulations of the surface code, finding a threshold increase from 0.937% to 4.15%. We also observe a larger code distance near the threshold, leading to a faster decrease in the logical error rate for the same number of physical qubits, which is important for near-term implementations. Erasure conversion should benefit any error correcting code, and may also be applied to design new gates and encodings in other qubit platforms.

  A fault-tolerant approach to reliable quantum memory is essential for scalable quantum computing.

Our simulations demonstrate high error thresholds of 0.4%-0.87% and strong error-floor performance for topological code families.

We show how to generate a universal gate set, including the rank-preserving CNOT gate, using quantum control and the Rydberg blockade. These findings pave the way for encoding a qubit in a large spin with the potential to achieve fault tolerance, high threshold, and reduced resource overhead in quantum information processing.

  Erasures, or errors with known locations, are a more favorable type of error for quantum error-correcting codes than Pauli errors. We apply the idea of performing erasure conversion by encoding qubits into metastable atomic states to trapped ions. We conclude that metastable qubits may outperform ground qubits when the achievable laser power is higher for metastable qubits.

• Removing leakage-induced correlated errors in superconducting quantum error correction [1.8397027011844889]
  Quantum computing can become scalable through error correction, but logical error rates only decrease with system size when physical errors are sufficiently uncorrelated. Here, we report a reset protocol that returns a qubit to the ground state from all relevant higher level states. We find lower rates of logical errors and an improved scaling and stability of error suppression with increasing qubit number.
