Automated error correction in superdense coding, with implementation on superconducting quantum computer

Kumar Nilesh, Piyush Joshi, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi

Construction of a fault-tolerant quantum computer remains a challenging problem due to unavoidable noise in quantum states and the fragility of quantum entanglement. However, most of the error-correcting codes increases the complexity of the algorithms, thereby decreasing any quantum advantage. Here we present a task-specific error-correction technique that provides a complete protection over a restricted set of quantum states. Specifically, we give an automated error correction in Superdense Coding algorithms utilizing n-qubit generalized Bell states. At its core, it is based on non-destructive discrimination method of Bell states involving measurements on ancilla qubits (phase and parity ancilla). The algorithm is shown to be distributable and can be distributed to any set of parties sharing orthogonal states. Automated refers to experimentally implementing the algorithm in a quantum computer by utilizing unitary operators with no measurements in between and thus without the need for outside intervention. We also experimentally realize our automated error correction technique for three different types of superdense coding algorithm on a 7-qubit superconducting IBM quantum computer and also on a 27-qubit quantum simulator in the presence of noise. Probability histograms are generated to show the high fidelity of our experimental results. Quantum state tomography is also carried out with the quantum computer to explicate the efficacy of our method.

Implementation of Error Correction on IBM Quantum Computing Devices

Sangat Sharma, Suresh Basnet, Raju Khanal

Quantum noise cannot be avoided in the quantum computing devices due to unstable nature of qubits and signals. The error caused by quantum noise can be detected and corrected using different error correcting codes. In this work, we have tested the feasibility and accuracy of three qubit bit flip and phase flip error correcting code in quantum computer provided by International Business Machine Quantum Experience (IBM QX) cloud platform. Among five quantum processors, ibmq_ourense is found to have highest average accuracy 77.9% ± 3.09% on all qubits simultaneously. Three qubits bit flip error correction circuit gave correct output 89.9% ± 1.01% of the time on average. Similarly three qubits phase flip error correction circuit give 88.05% ±1.89%. The measurement error mitigation has improved the accuracy of bit flip and phase flip error correction code by 5.01% and 7.01% respectively on average. The error rate shows that the error in quantum computations are random in nature and can be corrected. IBM QX quantum computer are suitable for only small scale quantum computation and demonstrate purpose. Furthermore, the accuracy of error correction codes can be increased with the use of higher accuracy quantum qubits and quantum gates.

Automated Flag Qubit Insertion for Reliable Quantum Circuit Output

Nikita Acharya, Samah Mohamed Saeed

Quantum circuit compilers play an important role in mitigating errors of quantum circuits executed on Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers. The compiler maps the quantum algorithm into a physical quantum circuit that satisfies the physical constraints of NISQ architecture. However, the reliability of NISQ computers is still very challenging. In this work, we design a new class of quantum test circuits using flag qubits based on error propagation. Furthermore, we automate the test point insertion. Our approach can detect errors at different points in the circuit to assess its output reliability. The goal is to select a qubit allocation that improves the quantum circuit output fidelity. We show the effectiveness of our approach using an IBM quantum computer and a noisy simulator.
