abstract

In order to use quantum error-correcting codes to actually improve the performance of a quantum computer, it is necessary to be able to perform operations fault-tolerantly on encoded states. I present a general theory of fault-tolerant operations based on symmetries of the code stabilizer. This allows a straightforward determination of which operations can be performed fault-tolerantly on a given code. I demonstrate that fault-tolerant universal computation is possible for any stabilizer code. I discuss a number of examples in more detail, including the five-qubit code.

The Heisenberg Representation of Quantum Computers

quant-ph · 1998-07-01 · accept · novelty 8.0

Quantum states for error correction are described by their stabilizer, a commuting group of tensor products of Pauli matrices, enabling analysis of a rich class of quantum effects short of full quantum computation.

Fault-tolerant quantum computation with a neutral atom processor

quant-ph · 2024-11-18 · accept · novelty 7.0

A 256-atom neutral ytterbium processor demonstrates fault-tolerant entanglement of 24 logical qubits and runs Bernstein-Vazirani on 28 logical qubits with better-than-physical error rates using erasure conversion.
