Advances in quantum error correction based on superconducting quantum systems

Zi-Jie Chen, Xiaoxuan Pan, Ziyue Hua +6 more

Information processing technology based on the basic principle of quantum mechanics shows great potential applications in computing, sensing and other fields, and is far superior to classical technology. With the advance of experimental technology, quantum control technology develops rapidly. Compared with other quantum information processing platforms, the superconducting system based on solid materials has the advantages of accurate quantum controllability, excellent quantum coherence and the potential for large-scale integration. Therefore, superconducting quantum system is one of the most promising platforms for quantum information processing. The existing superconducting circuits, which can integrate about one hundred qubits, have already demonstrated the advantages of quantum systems, but further development is limited by system noise. In order to break through this bottleneck, quantum error correction technology, which is developed from the classical error correction technology, has attracted extensive attention. Here, we mainly summarize the research progress of quantum error correction in superconducting quantum systems including the basic principles of superconducting quantum systems, the quantum error correction codes, the related control techniques and the recent applications. At the end of the article, we summarize seven key problems in this field.

Developments in superconducting erasure qubits for hardware-efficient quantum error correction

Maria Violaris, Luciana Henaut, James Wills +3 more

Quantum computers are inherently noisy, and a crucial challenge for achieving large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing is to implement quantum error correction. A promising direction that has made rapid recent progress is to design hardware that has a specific noise profile, leading to a significantly higher threshold for noise with certain quantum error correcting codes. This Perspective focuses on erasure qubits, which enable hardware-efficient quantum error correction, by concatenating an inner code built-in to the hardware with an outer code. We focus on implementations of dual-rail encoded erasure qubits using superconducting qubits, giving an overview of recent developments in theory and simulation, and hardware demonstrators. We also discuss the differences between implementations; near-term applications using quantum error detection; and the open problems for developing this approach towards early fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Real‐Time Decoding For Surface Code

Jia-Ning Li, Tian-hao WEI, Zi-Hao Mei +5 more

ABSTRACT Quantum computing can effectively solve certain specific problems that classical computing cannot address efficiently. However, due to the vulnerability of qubits to noise, quantum error‐correcting codes need to be introduced in the process of implementing quantum computing. Fault‐tolerant quantum computing is achieved through the encoding and decoding of qubits. There are various types of quantum error‐correcting codes, among which the surface code is favored by researchers for its simple topological structure, requirement of only local operations, and relatively high threshold. For quantum error‐correcting codes, corresponding decoders are necessary for decoding. Driven by the demand for fault‐tolerant quantum computing, the decoding of quantum error‐correcting codes must support real‐time functionality, which means there are specific requirements for the decoding speed of decoders. In this review, we focus on work related to real‐time decoding for the surface code, and presents recent advances in this field, particularly those that have been implemented on hardware platforms or show potential for implementation.
