• Abstract summary: Error-detecting Majorana stabilizer codes are constructed whose stabilizers can be measured by means of Wannier position operators. For a logical qubit encoded in one of these codes, the Pauli error rates are exponentially suppressed in the code distance. The work also demonstrates that the theory of Wannier functions could lead to error correcting codes beyond the standard stabilizer codes.

• Abstract: Quasiparticle poisoning errors in Majorana-based qubits are not suppressed by the underlying topological properties, which undermines the usefulness of this proposed platform. This work tackles the issue via quasiparticle measurement. Error-detecting Majorana stabilizer codes are constructed whose stabilizers can be measured by means of Wannier position operators. For a logical qubit encoded in one of these codes, the Pauli error rates are exponentially suppressed in the code distance, a result tied to the exponential localization of Wannier functions. The benefit comes at the cost of a qubit loss rate that increases linearly with the distance, but these can be readily compensated for by a suitable outer code. The framework developed here serves as a basis for understanding how realistic measurements, such as conductance measurements, could be utilized for achieving fault tolerance in these systems. The work also demonstrates that the theory of Wannier functions could lead to error correcting codes beyond the standard stabilizer codes, uncovering another fruitful connection between condensed matter physics and quantum information theory.

  We construct a fault-tolerant quantum error-correcting protocol based on a qubit encoded in a large spin qudit using a spin-cat code. We show how to generate a universal gate set, including the rank-preserving CNOT gate, using quantum control and the Rydberg blockade. These findings pave the way for encoding a qubit in a large spin with the potential to achieve fault tolerance, high threshold, and reduced resource overhead in quantum information processing.

  Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss.

Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.
