Abstract

This paper explores the application of quantum error correction (QEC) codes within a distributed quantum computing framework. The core claim is that leveraging the inherent redundancy of QEC codes facilitates the construction of a fault-tolerant distributed quantum computing system capable of executing complex quantum algorithms. The mechanism relies on encoding quantum information into QEC codes, enabling detection and correction of errors introduced during computation and transmission. This approach addresses the critical challenge of achieving reliable quantum computation in the face of environmental noise. The proposed system outlines a modular architecture where multiple quantum processors, each equipped with QEC capabilities, collaborate to perform computations. This paper details the theoretical framework, focusing on the design and implementation aspects of the distributed system, and highlights the potential for scaling quantum computation through this error-resilient approach. The system's success hinges on efficient decoding algorithms and robust communication protocols.
