• Authors: Cameron Cianci
• Abstract summary: Operations on logical qubits are only performed through universal gate sets consisting of finite-sized gates such as Clifford+T. The Eastin-Knill theorem prevents a continuous signal from being both fault tolerant to local errors and transverse. A protocol to design continuous logical z-rotations is proposed and applied to the Steane Code.

• Abstract: Error correction has long been suggested to extend the sensitivity of quantum sensors into the Heisenberg Limit. However, operations on logical qubits are only performed through universal gate sets consisting of finite-sized gates such as Clifford+T. Although these logical gate sets allow for universal quantum computation, the finite gate sizes present a problem for quantum sensing, since in sensing protocols, such as the Ramsey measurement protocol, the signal must act continuously. The difficulty in constructing a continuous logical operator comes from the Eastin-Knill theorem, which prevents a continuous signal from being both fault tolerant to local errors and transverse. Since error correction is needed to approach the Heisenberg Limit in a noisy environment, it is important to explore how to construct fault-tolerant continuous operators. In this paper, a protocol to design continuous logical z-rotations is proposed and applied to the Steane Code. The fault tolerance of the designed operator is investigated using the Knill-Laflamme conditions. The Knill-Laflamme conditions indicate that the diagonal unitary operator constructed cannot be fault tolerant solely due to the possibilities of X errors on the middle qubit. The approach demonstrated throughout this paper may, however, find success in codes with more qubits such as the Shor code, distance 3 surface code, [15,1,3] code, or codes with a larger distance such as the [11,1,5] code.

  Top color codes are widely acknowledged as promising candidates for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Top color codes can provide a universal gate set $$H, T, C$$, with the T-gate missing in the T-dimensional and the H-gate in the three-dimensional case. We construct resource-optimized deterministic and non-deterministic code switching protocols for two- and three-dimensional distance-three color codes.

  A major challenge in practical quantum computation is the ineludible errors caused by the interaction of quantum systems with their environment. Fault-tolerant schemes, in which logical qubits are encoded by several physical qubits, enable correct output of logical qubits under the presence of errors. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the existence of the threshold in a special fault-tolerant protocol.

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.
