• Abstract summary: We address quantum computers made from neutral atom arrays to design a surface code architecture that translates the hardware's physical connectivity into a higher logical connectivity. Compared to standard lattice surgery operations, this reduces both the overall qubit footprint and execution time, lowering the spacetime overhead needed for small-scale QEC circuits. We look at using physical atom movement schemes and propose interleaved lattice surgery which allows an all-to-all connectivity between qubits in adjacent interleaved groups, creating a higher connectivity routing space for large-scale circuits.

• Abstract: In order to achieve error rates necessary for advantageous quantum algorithms, Quantum Error Correction (QEC) will need to be employed, improving logical qubit fidelity beyond what can be achieved physically. As today's devices begin to scale, co-designing architectures for QEC with the underlying hardware will be necessary to reduce the daunting overheads and accelerate the realization of practical quantum computing. In this work, we focus on logical computation in QEC. We address quantum computers made from neutral atom arrays to design a surface code architecture that translates the hardware's higher physical connectivity into a higher logical connectivity. We propose groups of interleaved logical qubits, gaining all-to-all connectivity within the group via efficient transversal CNOT gates. Compared to standard lattice surgery operations, this reduces both the overall qubit footprint and execution time, lowering the spacetime overhead needed for small-scale QEC circuits. We also explore the architecture's scalability. We look at using physical atom movement schemes and propose interleaved lattice surgery which allows an all-to-all connectivity between qubits in adjacent interleaved groups, creating a higher connectivity routing space for large-scale circuits. Using numerical simulations, we evaluate the total routing time of interleaved lattice surgery and atom movement for various circuit sizes. We identify a cross-over point defining intermediate-scale circuits where atom movement is best and large-scale circuits where interleaved lattice surgery is best. We use this to motivate a hybrid approach as devices continue to scale, with the choice of operation depending on the routing distance.

  Distributed Quantum Computing (DQC) provides a means for scaling available quantum computation by interconnecting multiple quantum processor units (QPUs) A key challenge in this domain is efficiently allocating logical qubits from quantum circuits to the physical qubits within QPUs, a task known to be NP-hard. Traditional approaches have sought to reduce the number of required Bell pairs for executing non-local CNOT operations, a form of gate teleportation. We introduce a novel meta-heuristic algorithm to minimise the network cost of executing a quantum circuit.
