• Abstract: One of the most promising routes towards scalable quantum computing is a modular approach. We show that distinct surface code patches can be connected in a fault-tolerant manner even in the presence of substantial noise along their connecting interface. We quantify analytically and numerically the combined effect of errors across the interface and bulk. We show that the system can tolerate 14 times higher noise at the interface compared to the bulk, with only a small effect on the code's threshold and sub-threshold behavior, reaching threshold with $\sim 1 \%$ bulk errors and $\sim 10 \%$ interface errors. This implies that fault-tolerant scaling of error-corrected modular devices is within reach using existing technology.

  We show that a "dual-rail qubit" consisting of a pair of resonantly coupled transmons can form a highly coherent erasure qubit. We demonstrate mid-circuit detection of erasure errors while introducing $ 0.1%$ dephasing error per check. This work establishes transmon-based dual-rail qubits as an attractive building block for hardware-efficient quantum error correction.

• Hardware optimized parity check gates for superconducting surface codes [0.0]
  Error correcting codes use multi-qubit measurements to realize fault-tolerant quantum logic steps. We analyze an unconventional surface code based on multi-body interactions between superconducting transmon qubits. Despite the multi-body effects that underpin this approach, our estimates of logical faults suggest that this design can be at least as robust to realistic noise as conventional designs.

We verify the cancellation performance by measuring vanishing two-qubit entangling phases and $ZZ$ correlations. Our method allows independent addressability of each qubit-qubit connection, and is applicable to both nontunable and tunable couplers.

• 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.
