abstract

Quantum computation must be performed in a fault-tolerant manner to be realizable in practice. Recent progress has uncovered quantum error-correcting codes with sparse connectivity requirements and constant qubit overhead. Existing schemes for fault-tolerant logical measurement do not always achieve low qubit overhead. Here we present a low-overhead method to implement fault-tolerant logical measurement in a quantum error-correcting code by treating the logical operator as a symmetry and gauging it. The gauging measurement procedure introduces a high degree of flexibility that can be leveraged to achieve a qubit overhead that is linear in the weight of the operator being measured up to a polylogarithmic factor. This flexibility also allows the procedure to be adapted to arbitrary quantum codes. Our results provide a new, more efficient, approach to performing fault-tolerant quantum computation, making it more tractable for near-term implementation.

Parallel Logical Measurements via Quantum Code Surgery

quant-ph · 2025-03-06 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

A new code surgery protocol measures t logically disjoint Pauli products on any LDPC code using O(t ω (log t + log³ω)) ancillas in O(d) time while preserving LDPC property and fault distance.

Wire Codes

quant-ph · 2024-10-14 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Wire codes are a construction that converts any stabilizer code into a local weight-3 subsystem code on an arbitrary graph via low-density Tanner-graph embedding, with overhead governed by the embedding quality.

Gauging the Spacetime Code

quant-ph · 2026-06-04 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Gauging the spacetime code produces a lattice gauge theory inheriting circuit fault tolerance, with applications to foliated MBQC, classical memory in mixed topological states, and learnable Pauli noise degrees of freedom.
