• Authors: Qiqing Xia, Huiqin Xie, Li Yang
• Abstract summary: The original Steane code is not fault-tolerant because the CNOT gates in an encoded block may cause error propagation. We first propose a fault-tolerant encoding and decoding scheme, which analyzes all possible errors caused by each quantum gate in an error-correction period. We then provide the fault-tolerant scheme of the universal quantum gate set, including fault-tolerant preparation and verification of ancillary states.

• Abstract: Steane code is one of the most widely studied quantum error-correction codes, which is a natural choice for fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC). However, the original Steane code is not fault-tolerant because the CNOT gates in an encoded block may cause error propagation. In this paper, we first propose a fault-tolerant encoding and decoding scheme, which analyzes all possible errors caused by each quantum gate in an error-correction period. In this scheme, we combine the results of measuring redundant qubits with those of syndrome measurements to identify specific errors for different types of errors. But due to the error propagation, there may be cases where different errors produce the same measurement results. Therefore, we introduce the "flag qubits" scheme (providing its usage conditions) to reduce error interference as much as possible, and we consider the errors caused by the introduced quantum gates, realizing the truly fault-tolerant Steane code. Afterwards, we provide the fault-tolerant scheme of the universal quantum gate set, including fault-tolerant preparation and verification of ancillary states. This is the first time that fault tolerance has been considered for every process of FTQC. Finally, We propose an algorithm for a more accurate estimation of thresholds and optimal error-correction period selection. Our simulation results based on this entire scheme demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm, satisfying the threshold theorem and the currently widely recognized threshold. We analyze the relationship among the maximum threshold, concatenated levels, and quantum logical depth, showing that quantum operations play a crucial role in increasing the threshold. Furthermore, we analyze the computational theoretical limits of quantum computers from the perspectives of attack and active defense based on our FTQC scheme, thereby assessing the security of a system.

We report a ten-fold reduction in steady-state leakage population on the data qubits encoding the logical state and an average leakage population of less than $1 times 10-3$ throughout the entire device.

  We present a study of crosstalk errors in a quantum-computing architecture based on a single string of ions confined by a radio-frequency trap, and manipulated by individually-addressed laser beams. This type of errors affects spectator qubits that, ideally, should remain unaltered during the application of single- and two-qubit quantum gates addressed at a different set of active qubits. We microscopically model crosstalk errors from first principles and present a detailed study showing the importance of using a coherent vs incoherent error modelling and, moreover, discuss strategies to actively suppress this crosstalk at the gate level.

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.
