Decoherence of quantum states is a major hurdle towards scalable and reliable quantum computing. Lower decoherence (i.e., higher fidelity) can alleviate the error correction overhead and obviate the need for energy-intensive noise reduction techniques e.g., cryogenic cooling. In this paper, we performed a noise-induced decoherence analysis of single and multi-qubit quantum gates using physics-based simulations. The analysis indicates that (i) decoherence depends on the input state and the gate type. Larger number of ∣1⟩ states worsen the decoherence; (ii) amplitude damping is more detrimental than phase damping; (iii) shorter depth implementation of a quantum function can achieve lower decoherence. Simulations indicate 20\% improvement in the fidelity of a quantum adder when realized using lower depth topology. The insights developed in this paper can be exploited by the circuit designer to choose the right gates and logic implementation to optimize the system-level fidelity.
The quantum computing theoretically serves as a path to many high-level complex problems, but suffers some profound challenges which become hurdles in its path to a practical scenario. It has deep rooted inexplicable and unsettled challenges like Quantum Error Correction (QEC), qubit instability and issues of quantum decoherence. One of the main obstacles in quantum computing is tenuousness of quantum information processing. The time limit and decoherence problem have been a long-term scientific barrier in the theory of quantum mechanics. The quantum behavior of a quantum computer is influenced and affected by the surroundings creating a ‘race against time’ causing errors in the quantum computations making later unreliable. The error correction requires resource overhead further causing the data processing complexities and so remains as a monumental issue. This paper discusses some major unresolved limitations and deficiencies of quantum computing to eliminate the hurdles, for a need to create a transformative potential technology in the era of quantum computing.
Quantum decoherence is a fundamental challenge in the development and operation of quantum computing systems. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of quantum decoherence, examining its origins, mechanisms, and impact on quantum information processing. We explore the interplay between decoherence and quantum error correction, highlighting the importance of maintaining coherence for reliable quantum computation. Through theoretical models and experimental studies, we investigate various sources of decoherence, including environmental interactions, thermal fluctuations, and operational imperfections. Additionally, we discuss advanced techniques for mitigating decoherence, such as dynamical decoupling, error-correcting codes, and fault-tolerant quantum computing architectures. Our findings underscore the critical role of understanding and managing quantum decoherence in achieving scalable and practical quantum computing systems. This work aims to provide a foundation for future research and development in enhancing the robustness and performance of quantum computers.
Efficient and scalable decoding of quantum codes is essential for high-performance quantum error correction. In this work, we introduce Reliable Subset Reduction (RSR), a reliability-driven preprocessing framework that leverages belief propagation (BP) statistics to identify and remove highly reliable qubits, substantially reducing the effective problem size. Additionally, we identify a degeneracy condition that allows high-order OSD to be simplified to order-0 OSD. By integrating these techniques, we present an ADOSD algorithm that significantly improves OSD efficiency. Our BP+RSR+ADOSD framework extends naturally to circuit-level noise and can handle large-scale codes with more than 104 error variables. Through extensive simulations, we demonstrate improved performance over MWPM and Localized Statistics Decoding for a variety of CSS and non-CSS codes under the code-capacity noise model, and for rotated surface codes under realistic circuit-level noise. At low physical error rates, RSR reduces the effective problem size to as little as 1\% (e.g., for ε=0.001 in surface-code DEM), enabling higher-order OSD with drastically reduced computational complexity. These results highlight the practical efficiency and broad applicability of the BP+ADOSD framework for both theoretical and realistic quantum error correction scenarios.

A long-standing challenge in quantum computing is developing technologies to overcome the inevitable noise in qubits. To enable meaningful applications in the early stages of fault-tolerant quantum computing, devising methods to suppress post-correction logical failures is becoming increasingly crucial. In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate the application of zero-noise extrapolation, a practical quantum error mitigation technique, to error correction circuits on superconducting processors. By amplifying the noise on physical qubits, the circuits yield outcomes that exhibit a predictable dependence on noise strength, following a polynomial function determined by the code distance. This property enables the effective application of polynomial extrapolation to mitigate logical errors. Our experiments demonstrate a universal reduction in logical errors across various quantum circuits, including fault-tolerant circuits of repetition and surface codes. We observe a favorable performance in multi-round error correction circuits, indicating that this method remains effective when the circuit depth increases. These results advance the frontier of quantum error suppression technologies, opening a practical way to achieve reliable quantum computing in the early fault-tolerant era. Quantum error mitigation refers to techniques that reduce, rather than correct, errors in quantum computing. Here the authors demonstrate zero-noise extrapolation applied to quantum error correction circuits on superconducting processors, effectively reducing logical errors and advancing early fault-tolerant quantum computing.
