• Abstract: To be useful, quantum computers will be required to successfully correct errors occurring at the hardware level. Bosonic codes provide a hardware-efficient option for error correction, but fault-tolerance further requires that the available gate interactions be compatible with the code. A promising bosonic code is the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code, for which a linear beamsplitter-like coupling between two bosonic modes is fault-tolerant, making this a key primitive for building larger systems. Here, using two motional modes of a trapped ion, we demonstrate the generation of entangled states of GKP qubits by interfering two qunaught states, which have a grid structure but carry no logical information, on a beamsplitter. We generate all four Bell states with an average fidelity of 69%, and subsequently demonstrate an extension of the entangled state lifetime through the use of quantum error correction. These results complete the set of Gaussian operations required for quantum computing with GKP codes and enable explorations of multi-mode bosonic encodings as well as fundamental tests of information channels.

  This perspective manuscript describes how bosonic codes, particularly grid state encodings, offer a pathway to scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. By leveraging the large Hilbert space of bosonic modes, quantum error correction can operate at the single physical unit level. We argue that it offers the shortest path to achieving fault tolerance in gate-based quantum computing processors with a MHz logical clock rate.

  Large-scale quantum computers will inevitably need quantum error correction (QEC) to protect information against decoherence. AQEC schemes work by transforming error states into excitations that can be efficiently removed through engineered dissipation. The recently proposed AQEC scheme by Li et al., called the Star code, can autonomously correct or suppress all single qubit error channels using two transmons as encoders with a tunable coupler and two lossy resonators as a cooling source.
