• Abstract: Quantum stabilizer codes often face the challenge of syndrome errors due to error-prone measurements. To address this issue, multiple rounds of syndrome extraction are typically employed to obtain reliable error syndromes. In this paper, we consider phenomenological decoding problems, where data qubit errors may occur between two syndrome extractions, and each syndrome measurement can be faulty. To handle these diverse error sources, we define a generalized check matrix over mixed quaternary and binary alphabets to characterize their error syndromes. This generalized check matrix leads to the creation of a Tanner graph comprising quaternary and binary variable nodes, which facilitates the development of belief propagation (BP) decoding algorithms to tackle phenomenological errors. Importantly, our BP decoders are applicable to general sparse quantum codes. Through simulations of quantum memory protected by rotated toric codes, we demonstrates an error threshold of 3.3% in the phenomenological noise model. Additionally, we propose a method to construct effective redundant stabilizer checks for single-shot error correction. Simulations show that BP decoding performs exceptionally well, even when the syndrome error rate greatly exceeds the data error rate.

  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.
