Quantum error correction is a crucial step beyond the current noisy-intermediate-scale quantum device towards fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, most of the error corrections ever demonstrated rely on post-selection of events or post-correction of states, based on measurement results repeatedly recorded during circuit execution. On the other hand, real-time error correction is supposed to be performed through classical feedforward of the measurement results to data qubits. It provides unavoidable latency from conditional electronics that would limit the scalability of the next-generation quantum processors. Here we propose a new approach to real-time error correction that is free from measurement and realized by using multi-controlled gates based on higher-dimensional state space. Specifically, we provide a series of novel decompositions of a Toffoli gate by using the lowest three energy levels of a transmon that significantly reduce the number of two-qubit gates and discuss their essential features, such as extendability to an arbitrary number of control qubits, the necessity of exclusively controlled NOT gates, and usefulness of their incomplete variants. Combined with the recently demonstrated schemes of fast two-qubit gates and all-microwave qubit reset, it would substantially shorten the time required for error correction and resetting ancilla qubits compared to a measurement-based approach and provide an error correction rate of $gtrsim1$~MHz with high accuracy for three-qubit bit- and phase-flip errors.

Non-adiabatic holonomic quantum gate in decoherence-free subspaces is of greatly practical importance due to its built-in fault tolerance, coherence stabilization virtues, and short run-time. Here we propose some compact schemes to implement two- and three-qubit controlled unitary quantum gates and Fredkin gate. For the controlled unitary quantum gates, the unitary operator acting on the target qubit is an arbitrary single-qubit gate operation. The controlled quantum gates can be directly implemented using non-adiabatic holonomy in decoherence-free subspaces and the required resource for the decoherence-free subspace encoding is minimal by using only two neighboring physical qubits undergoing collective dephasing to encode a logical qubit.
Since the birth of quantum optics, the measurement of quantum states of nonclassical light has been of tremendous importance for advancement in the field. To date, conventional detectors such as photomultipliers, avalanche photodiodes, and superconducting nanowires, all rely at their core on linear excitation of bound electrons with light, posing fundamental restrictions on the detection. In contrast, the interaction of free electrons with light in the context of quantum optics is highly nonlinear and offers exciting possibilities. The first experiments that promoted this direction appeared over the past decade as part of photon-induced nearfield electron microscopy (PINEM), wherein free electrons are capable of high-order multi-photon absorption and emission. Here we propose using free electrons for quantum-optical detection of the complete quantum state of light. We show how the precise control of the electron before and after its interaction with quantum light enables to extract the photon statistics and implement full quantum state tomography using PINEM. This technique can reach sub-attosecond time resolutions, measure temporal coherence of any degree (e.g., g(1), g(2)), and simultaneously detect large numbers of photons with each electron. Importantly, the interaction of the electron with light is non-destructive, thereby leaving the photonic state (modified by the interaction) intact, which is conceptually different from conventional detectors. By using a pulse of multiple electrons, we envision how PINEM quantum detectors could achieve a single-shot measurement of the complete state of quantum light, even for non-reproducible emission events. Altogether, our work paves the way to novel kinds of photodetectors that utilize the ultrafast duration, high nonlinearity, and non-destructive nature of electron-light interactions.
We discuss the desired criteria for a two-qubit phase gate and present a method for realising such a gate for quantum computation that is measurement-free and low error. The gate is implemented between qubits via an intermediate bus mode. We take a coherent state as the bus and use cross-Kerr type interactions between the bus and the qubits. This new method is robust against parameter variations and is thus low error. It fundamentally improves on previous methods due its deterministic nature and the lack of approximations used in the geometry of the phase rotations. This interaction is applicable both to solid state and photonic qubit systems.
The standard quantum error correction protocols use projective measurements to extract the error syndromes from the encoded states. We consider the more general scenario of weak measurements, where only partial information about the error syndrome can be extracted from the encoded state. We construct a feedback protocol that probabilistically corrects the error based on the extracted information. Using numerical simulations of one-qubit error correction codes, we show that our error correction succeeds for a range of the weak measurement strength, where (a) the error rate is below the threshold beyond which multiple errors dominate, and (b) the error rate is less than the rate at which weak measurement extracts information. It is also obvious that error correction with too small a measurement strength should be avoided.
We review an experimental technique used to correct state preparation and measurement errors on gate-based quantum computers, and discuss its rigorous justification. Within a specific biased quantum measurement model, we prove that nonideal measurement of an arbitrary $n$-qubit state is equivalent to ideal projective measurement followed by a classical Markov process $Gamma$ acting on the output probability distribution. Measurement errors can be removed, with rigorous justification, if $Gamma$ can be learned and inverted. We show how to obtain $Gamma$ from gate set tomography (R. Blume-Kohout et al., arXiv:1310.4492) and apply the error correction technique to single IBM Q superconducting qubits.
