• Abstract: Fault-tolerant capacities quantify the ability of a quantum channel to reliably transmit information when every component of the encoding and decoding procedure is noisy. Earlier work analyzed achievable communication rates under such noise using fault-tolerant implementations based on concatenated codes with a single logical qubit. In this work, we develop an alternative approach using concatenations of quantum Hamming codes, which offer constant space overhead by encoding many logical qubits simultaneously. We introduce modular techniques for implementing fault-tolerant circuits with quantum input/output interfaces using the concatenated quantum Hamming code. These tools enable an analysis of fault-tolerant entanglement-assisted communication that is not only simpler, but also yields substantially higher achievable communication rates than previous methods, owing to the limited noise correlations in syndrome qubits of high-rate quantum Hamming codes.

  Real-time quantum computation will require decoding algorithms capable of extracting logical outcomes from a stream of data generated by noisy quantum hardware. We propose modular decoding, an approach capable of addressing this challenge with minimal additional communication and without sacrificing decoding accuracy. We introduce the edge-vertex decomposition, a concrete instance of modular decoding for lattice-surgery style fault-tolerant blocks.

  This paper studies the study of fault-tolerant channel coding for quantum channels. We use techniques from fault-tolerant quantum computing to establish coding theorems for sending classical and quantum information in this scenario. We extend these methods to the case of entanglement-assisted communication, in particular proving that the fault-tolerant capacity approaches the usual capacity when the gate error approaches zero.

  encode and decode circuits to reliably send messages over many uses of a noisy channel. 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.
