Quantum error correction and quantum error detection necessitate syndrome measurements to detect errors. Performing syndrome measurements for each stabilizer generator can be a significant overhead, considering the fact that the readout fidelity in the current quantum hardware is generally lower than gate fidelity. Here, by generalizing a quantum e...

We experimentally demonstrate a virtual two-qubit gate and characterize it using quantum process tomography (QPT). The virtual two-qubit gate decomposes an actual two-qubit gate into single-qubit operations and projective measurements in quantum circuits for expectation-value estimation. We implement projective measurements via mid-circuit dispersi...

The rotation symmetric bosonic code (RSBC) is a unified framework of practical bosonic codes that have rotation symmetries, such as cat codes and binomial codes. While cat codes achieve the break-even point in which the coherence time of the encoded qubits exceeds that of unencoded qubits, with binomial codes nearly approaching that point, the stat...

Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is essential for quantum computing to mitigate the effect of errors on qubits, and Surface code (SC) is one of the most promising QEC methods.

Variational quantum algorithms are considered to be appealing applications of near-term quantum computers. However, it has been unclear whether they can outperform classical algorithms or not. To reveal their limitations, we must seek a technique to benchmark them on large-scale problems. Here we propose a perturbative approach for efficient benchm...

In the early years of fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC), it is expected that the available code distance and the number of magic states will be restricted due to the limited scalability of quantum devices and the insufficient computational power of classical decoding units.

The hybrid tensor network approach allows us to perform calculations on systems larger than the scale of a quantum computer. However, when calculating transition amplitudes, there is the problem that the number of terms to be measured increases exponentially with that of the contracted operators. This problem is caused by the fact that the contract...

Fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) implements universal quantum computing while suppressing physical errors via quantum error correction. Although the effective error rate decreases exponentially with the code distance, it is expected that the number of available physical qubits is restricted even after FTQC is realized in some form. Meanwhile...

We propose a gate optimization method, which we call variational quantum gate optimization (VQGO). VQGO is a method to construct a target multi-qubit gate by optimizing a parametrized quantum circuit which consists of tunable single-qubit gates with high fidelities and fixed multi-qubit gates with limited controlabilities. As an example, we apply t...

... We accomplish these by employing an information-theoretic approach, which establishes the novel connection between the state distinguishability and operationally motivated errormitigation performance measures. Our results place the fundamental limitations imposed on the capability of general error-mitigation strategies that include existing protocols [5][6][7][8][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and the ones yet to be discovered, being analogous to the performance converse bounds established in several other disciplines-such as thermodynamics [32][33][34], quantum communication [35,36], and quantum resource theories [37,38]-that contributed to characterizing the ultimate operational capability allowed in each physical setting. ...
... In the context of entanglement-induced barren plateaus, most strategies rely on limiting the amount of entanglement [16][17][18][19][20]. Other methods make use of tailored distributions of the initial circuit parameters and carefully designed circuit architectures [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Yet, only a handful of configurations offer trainability guarantees and robustness against barren plateaus [30,31]. ...
... Since the widespread transmons pose the tightest constraints, the value of 1 µs is often used as the benchmark for real-time decoding. However, this could be relaxed to a few µs with the use of parallelization [17,18] or trading time for space with the use of Auto-T gadgets (see figure 17(b) in [19]), where the use of an extra ancilla per T gate allows to postpone the moment when the output of the Comparison of decoders: summary of decoders for a distance-11 surface code (unless otherwise specified) [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. For the cases that do not account for measurement errors, the decoding time is given for a d × d × 1 block, whereas for those that do is given as 1/d of the time to decode a d × d × d block. ...
... In Sec. III, we discuss the conventional probabilistic error cancellation technique [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], developed to fully mitigate noise in a quantum circuit, and demonstrate that it can also be employed to partially mitigate the error probabilities of stochastic Pauli noise channels in a controlled manner. We show that our approach can be used to implement stochastic Pauli noise with desired decoherence rates on NISQ devices. ...
... To meet the timing requirements, the clock period should be equal to 5.6 m/2 =0.025ns, which is a maximum clock frequency of 40GHz. This frequency cannot be achieved by any FPGA or ASIC, and on the other hand, it would require a large power consumption that will cause another problem with the power budget and the refrigeration system [13]. With the previous examples, it is easy to conclude that the implementation of serial scheduling, even if it has a better performance than the flooded one, it is not a realistic solution when it comes to implementation. ...
