• Authors: Oscar Higgott and Nikolas P. Breuckmann
• Abstract summary: We study the single-shot performance of higher dimensional hypergraph product codes decoded using belief-propagation and ordered-statistics. We find that decoding data qubit and syndrome measurement errors together in a single stage leads to single-shot thresholds that greatly exceed all previously observed single-shot thresholds for these codes.

• Abstract: In this work we study the single-shot performance of higher dimensional hypergraph product codes decoded using belief-propagation and ordered-statistics decoding [Panteleev and Kalachev, 2021]. We find that decoding data qubit and syndrome measurement errors together in a single stage leads to single-shot thresholds that greatly exceed all previously observed single-shot thresholds for these codes. For the 3D toric code and a phenomenological noise model, our results are consistent with a sustainable threshold of 7.1% for $Z$ errors, compared to the threshold of 2.90% previously found using a two-stage decoder~[Quintavalle et al., 2021]. For the 4D toric code, for which both $X$ and $Z$ error correction is single-shot, our results are consistent with a sustainable single-shot threshold of 4.3% which is even higher than the threshold of 2.93% for the 2D toric code for the same noise model but using $L$ rounds of stabiliser measurement. We also explore the performance of balanced product and 4D hypergraph product codes which we show lead to a reduction in qubit overhead compared the surface code for phenomenological error rates as high as 1%.

• Demonstrating dynamic surface codes [138.1740645504286]
  We experimentally demonstrate three time-dynamic implementations of the surface code. First, we embed the surface code on a hexagonal lattice, reducing the necessary couplings per qubit from four to three. Second, we walk a surface code, swapping the role of data and measure qubits each round, achieving error correction with built-in removal of accumulated non-computational errors. Third, we realize the surface code using iSWAP gates instead of the traditional CNOT, extending the set of viable gates for error correction without additional overhead.

  Quantum error correction provides a path to reach practical quantum computing by combining multiple physical qubits into a logical qubit. We present two surface code memories operating below a critical threshold: a distance-7 code and a distance-5 code integrated with a real-time decoder. Our results present device performance that, if scaled, could realize the operational requirements of large scale fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.

We observe that at high error rates, fewer rounds of syndrome extraction tend to perform better, while more rounds improve performance at lower error rates.

• Fault-tolerant hyperbolic Floquet quantum error correcting codes [0.0]
  We introduce a family of dynamically generated quantum error correcting codes that we call "hyperbolic Floquet codes" One of our hyperbolic Floquet codes uses 400 physical qubits to encode 52 logical qubits with a code distance of 8, i.e., it is a $[[400,52,8]]$ code. At small error rates, comparable logical error suppression to this code requires 5x as many physical qubits (1924) when using the honeycomb Floquet code with the same noise model and decoder.

  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.

• Cellular automaton decoders for topological quantum codes with noisy measurements and beyond [68.8204255655161]
  We propose an error correction procedure based on a cellular automaton, the sweep rule, which is applicable to a broad range of codes beyond topological quantum codes. For simplicity, we focus on the three-dimensional (3D) toric code on the rhombic dodecahedral lattice with boundaries and prove that the resulting local decoder has a non-zero error threshold. We find that this error correction procedure is remarkably robust against measurement errors and is also essentially insensitive to the details of the lattice and noise model.
