• Abstract: Studies of quantum error correction (QEC) typically focus on stochastic Pauli errors because the existence of a threshold error rate below which stochastic Pauli errors can be corrected implies that there exists a threshold below which generic errors can be corrected. However, rigorous estimates of the threshold for generic errors are typically orders of magnitude worse than the threshold for stochastic Pauli errors. Specifically, coherent errors have a particularly harmful impact on the encoded space because they can map encoded states to superpositions of logical and error states. Further, coherent errors can add up and interfere over multiple rounds of error correction or between syndrome measurements, which may result in significantly worse errors than expected under a stochastic Pauli error model. In this paper, we present an algorithm which decoheres noise at the logical level, projecting the state of the system onto a logical state with a well-defined error. The algorithm does not significantly increase the depth of the logical circuit (and usually does not lead to any increase in depth), and applies generally to most fault-tolerant gadgets and error correction steps.

• Measurement based estimator scheme for continuous quantum error correction [52.77024349608834]
  Canonical discrete quantum error correction (DQEC) schemes use projective von Neumann measurements on stabilizers to discretize the error syndromes into a finite set. Quantum error correction (QEC) based on continuous measurement, known as continuous quantum error correction (CQEC), can be executed faster than DQEC and can also be resource efficient. We show that by constructing a measurement-based estimator (MBE) of the logical qubit to be protected, it is possible to accurately track the errors occurring on the physical qubits in real time.

  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.
