AI中文摘要:
级联量子纠错码近年来受到广泛关注,因为它们在不需发现具有理想参数的新码的情况下,提高了联合码的有效距离。此类研究的一个常见构建块是 $[[4,1,2]]$ Iceberg码,它是最小的检错码,因此具有最低的资源开销。然而,它具有不对称的 $X$ 和 $Z$ 校验数量,级联它会在 $X$ 和 $Z$ 可观测量之间产生偏斜的逻辑错误率(LER)。这种不对称性可以通过对级联的各个块进行Clifford变形来缓解,但可能的Hadamard变形空间随级联层数呈双重指数增长。我们形式化了这个变形空间,并通过提出六种具体的变形策略来研究它,我们在码容量(有偏和无偏)噪声模型下,使用级联最大似然软信息解码器对这些策略进行比较。在我们研究的策略中,有一种在逻辑存储器实验中实现了近乎相同的 $X$ 和 $Z$ 逻辑错误率,同时降低了总逻辑错误率($X$ 和 $Z$ 错误率之和)。
英文摘要:
Concatenated quantum error-correcting codes have recently gained popularity because they improve the effective distance of a joint code without requiring the discovery of new codes with desirable parameters. A common building block for such studies is the $[[4,1,2]]$ Iceberg code, the smallest error-detecting code and therefore the one with the lowest resource overhead. However, it has an asymmetric number of $X$ and $Z$ checks, and concatenating it produces skewed logical error rates (LERs) between the $X$ and $Z$ observables. This asymmetry can be mitigated by Clifford-deforming the individual blocks of the concatenation, but the space of possible Hadamard deformations grows doubly exponentially with the number of concatenation levels. We formalize this deformation space and investigate it by proposing six concrete deformation strategies, which we compare under a code capacity (with and without bias) noise model using a concatenated maximum-likelihood soft-information decoder. Among the strategies we study, one one of them achieves near-identical $X$ and $Z$ LERs in a logical-memory experiment while simultaneously reducing the total LER (the sum of the $X$ and $Z$ error rates).
