• Abstract: Reaching useful fault-tolerant quantum computation relies on successfully implementing quantum error correction (QEC). In QEC, quantum gates and measurements are performed to stabilize the computational qubits, and classical processing is used to convert the measurements into estimated logical Pauli frame updates or logical measurement results. While QEC research has concentrated on developing and evaluating QEC codes and decoding algorithms, specification and clarification of the requirements for the classical control system running QEC codes are lacking. Here, we elucidate the roles of the QEC control system, the necessity to implement low latency feed-forward quantum operations, and suggest near-term benchmarks that confront the classical bottlenecks for QEC quantum computation. These benchmarks are based on the latency between a measurement and the operation that depends on it and incorporate the different control aspects such as quantum-classical parallelization capabilities and decoding throughput. Using a dynamical system analysis, we show how the QEC control system latency performance determines the operation regime of a QEC circuit: latency divergence, where quantum calculations are unfeasible, classical-controller limited runtime, or quantum-operation limited runtime where the classical operations do not delay the quantum circuit. This analysis and the proposed benchmarks aim to allow the evaluation and development of QEC control systems toward their realization as a main component in fault-tolerant quantum computation.

  Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is widely regarded as the most promising path towards quantum advantage. We show that the controller-decoder closed-loop latency must remain within tens of microseconds, achievable through parallelizing decoding tasks. We also simulate the complete fault-tolerant factorization circuit at the physical level, demonstrating that near-term hardware performance, such as a physical error rate of 0.1% and 1000 qubits, are sufficient for the successful execution of the circuit.

• 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.
