• Abstract: Quantum error correction (QEC) is often implemented on hardware that experiences biased noise, where dephasing errors occur more frequently than other errors. This has motivated many recent efforts to develop bias-tailored QEC codes, such as the Clifford-deformed compass codes: a family of codes that achieve high thresholds under biased dephasing noise. We perform circuit-level simulations of the Clifford-deformed elongated compass codes under a biased noise model and evaluate code thresholds using standard minimum weight perfect matching (MWPM) and correlated MWPM. We find that correlated decoding enhances thresholds for all noise biases relative to standard MWPM under circuit-level noise. Our results demonstrate that correlated decoding leads to a higher relative gain in thresholds compared to standard MWPM when applied to codes with asymmetric stabilizers under biased noise.

  We introduce decoders that are both fast and accurate, and can be used with a wide class of quantum error correction codes. Our decoders, named belief-matching and belief-find, exploit all noise information and thereby unlock higher accuracy demonstrations of QEC. We find that the decoders led to a much higher threshold and lower qubit overhead in the tailored surface code with respect to the standard, square surface code.

• Cellular automaton decoders for topological quantum codes with noisy measurements and beyond [68.8204255655161]
  We propose an error correction procedure based on a cellular automaton, the sweep rule, which is applicable to a broad range of codes beyond topological quantum codes. For simplicity, we focus on the three-dimensional (3D) toric code on the rhombic dodecahedral lattice with boundaries and prove that the resulting local decoder has a non-zero error threshold. We find that this error correction procedure is remarkably robust against measurement errors and is also essentially insensitive to the details of the lattice and noise model.
