Abstract

A method to construct logical qubits with extremely low logical error rates: The engineering overhead for building fault-tolerant quantum computation can be reduced to a handful of photonic and phononic components currently available.

Error rates and resource overheads of repetition cat qubits

Jérémie Guillaud, Mazyar Mirrahimi

We estimate and analyze the error rates and the resource overheads of the repetition cat qubit approach to universal and fault-tolerant quantum computation. The cat qubits stabilized by two-photon dissipation exhibit an extremely biased noise where the bit-flip error rate is exponentially suppressed with the mean number of photons. In a recent work we suggested that the remaining phase-flip error channel could be suppressed using a one-dimensional repetition code. Indeed, using only bias-preserving gates on the cat qubits, it is possible to build a universal set of fault-tolerant logical gates at the level of the repetition cat qubit. In this paper we perform Monte Carlo simulations of all the circuits implementing the protected logical gates, using a circuit-level error model. Furthermore, we analyze two different approaches to implement a fault-tolerant Toffoli gate on repetition cat qubits. These numerical simulations indicate that very low logical error rates could be achieved with a reasonable resource overhead, and with parameters that are within the reach of near-term circuit QED experiments.

Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation with Constant Overhead

Daniel Gottesman

What is the minimum number of extra qubits needed to perform a large fault-tolerant quantum circuit? Working in a common model of fault-tolerance, I show that in the asymptotic limit of large circuits, the ratio of physical qubits to logical qubits can be a constant. The construction makes use of quantum low-density parity check codes, and the asymptotic overhead of the protocol is equal to that of the family of quantum error-correcting codes underlying the fault-tolerant protocol.
