• Abstract: To well understand the behavior of quantum error correction codes (QECC) in noise processes, we need to obtain explicit coding maps for QECC. Due to extraordinary amount of computational labor that they entails, explicit coding maps are a little known. Indeed this is even true for one of the most commonly considered quantum codes-the five-qubit code, also known as the smallest perfect code that permits corrections of generic single-qubit errors. With direct but complicated computation, we obtain explicit process matrix of the coding maps with a unital error channel for the five-qubit code. The process matrix allows us to conduct exact analysis on the performance of the quantum code. We prove that the code can correct a generic error in the sense that under repeated concatenation of the coding map with itself, the code does not make any assumption about the error model other than it being weak and thus can remove the error(it can transform/take the error channel to the identity channel if the error is sufficiently small.). We focus on the examination of some coherent error models (non diagonal channels) studied in recent literatures. We numerically derive a lower bound on threshold of the convergence for the code. Furthermore, we analytically show how the code affects the average gate infidelity and diamond distance of the error channels. Explicit formulas of the two measurements for both pre-error channel and post-error channel are derived, and we then analyze the logical error rates of the aforesaid quantum code. Our findings tighten the upper bounds on diamond distance of the noise channel after error corrections obtained in literature.

  Leakage of quantum information out of computational states into higher energy states represents a major challenge in the pursuit of quantum error correction (QEC) Here, we demonstrate the execution of a distance-3 surface code and distance-21 bit-flip code on a Sycamore quantum processor where leakage is removed from all qubits in each cycle. We report a ten-fold reduction in steady-state leakage population on the data qubits encoding the logical state and an average leakage population of less than $1 times 10-3$ throughout the entire device.

  We introduce decoders that are both fast and accurate, and can be used with a wide class of quantum error correction codes. Our decoders, named belief-matching and belief-find, exploit all noise information and thereby unlock higher accuracy demonstrations of QEC. We find that the decoders led to a much higher threshold and lower qubit overhead in the tailored surface code with respect to the standard, square surface code.

  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.
