• Abstract: Quantum computers promise to solve problems that are intractable for classical computers, but qubits are vulnerable to many sources of error, limiting the depth of the circuits that can be reliably executed on today's quantum hardware. Quantum error correction has been proposed as a solution to this problem, whereby quantum information is protected by encoding it into a quantum error-correcting code. But protecting quantum information is not enough, we must also process the information using logic gates that are robust to faults that occur during their execution. One method for processing information fault-tolerantly is to use quantum error-correcting codes that have logical gates with a tensor product structure (transversal gates), making them naturally fault-tolerant. Here, we test the performance of a code with such transversal gates, the [[8,3,2]] color code, using trapped-ion and superconducting hardware. We observe improved performance (compared to no encoding) for encoded circuits implementing non-Clifford gates, a class of gates that are essential for achieving universal quantum computing. In particular, we find improved performance for an encoded circuit implementing the control-control $Z$ gate, a key gate in Shor's algorithm. Our results illustrate the potential of using codes with transversal gates to implement non-trivial algorithms on near-term quantum hardware.

  This perspective manuscript describes how bosonic codes, particularly grid state encodings, offer a pathway to scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. By leveraging the large Hilbert space of bosonic modes, quantum error correction can operate at the single physical unit level. We argue that it offers the shortest path to achieving fault tolerance in gate-based quantum computing processors with a MHz logical clock rate.

  Many current quantum error correcting codes that achieve full fault-tolerance suffer from having low ratios of logical to physical qubits and significant overhead. We propose a middle ground: constructions in the [[n,n-2,2]] quantum error detecting code that can detect any error from a single faulty gate.

  Quantum circuits based on fault-tolerant gates and error-correcting codes should be used as they tolerant environmental noise. Current machines called Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) machines cannot support the overhead associated with faulttolerant design. The risk for noise errors and decoherence increase as the number of gate layers (or depth) in the circuit increases.

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.
