The loss of qubits - the elementary carriers of quantum information - poses one of the fundamental obstacles towards large-scale and fault-tolerant quantum information processors. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate a complete toolbox and the implementation of a full cycle of qubit loss detection and correction on a minimal instance of a topological surface code. This includes a quantum non-demolition measurement of a qubit loss event that conditionally triggers a restoration procedure, mapping the logical qubit onto a new encoding on the remaining qubits. The demonstrated methods, implemented here in a trapped-ion quantum processor, are applicable to other quantum computing architectures and codes, including leading 2D and 3D topological quantum error correcting codes. These tools complement previously demonstrated techniques to correct computational errors, and in combination constitute essential building blocks for complete and scalable quantum error correction.

We present a scheme for correcting qubit loss error while quantum computing with neutral atoms in an addressable optical lattice. The qubit loss is first detected using a quantum non-demolition measurement and then transformed into a standard qubit e rror by inserting a new atom in the vacated lattice site. The logical qubit, encoded here into four physical qubits with the Grassl-Beth-Pellizzari code, is reconstructed via a sequence of one projective measurement, two single-qubit gates, and three controlled-NOT operations. No ancillary qubits are required. Both quantum non-demolition and projective measurements are implemented using a cavity QED system which can also detect a general leakage error and thus allow qubit loss to be corrected within the same framework. The scheme can also be applied in quantum computation with trapped ions or with photons.

The states of three-qubit systems split into two inequivalent types of genuine tripartite entanglement, namely the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) type and the $W$ type. A state belonging to one of these classes can be stochastically transformed on ly into a state within the same class by local operations and classical communications. We provide local quantum operations, consisting of the most general two-outcome measurement operators, for the deterministic transformations of three-qubit pure states in which the initial and the target states are in the same class. We explore these transformations, originally having standard GHZ and standard $W$ states, under the local measurement operations carried out by a single party and $p$ ($p=2,3$) parties (successively). We find a notable result that the standard GHZ state cannot be deterministically transformed to a GHZ-type state in which all its bipartite entanglements are nonzero, i.e., a transformation can be achieved with unit probability when the target state has at least one vanishing bipartite concurrence.
The smallest quantum code that can correct all one-qubit errors is based on five qubits. We experimentally implemented the encoding, decoding and error-correction quantum networks using nuclear magnetic resonance on a five spin subsystem of labeled c rotonic acid. The ability to correct each error was verified by tomography of the process. The use of error-correction for benchmarking quantum networks is discussed, and we infer that the fidelity achieved in our experiment is sufficient for preserving entanglement.
Fault-tolerant quantum computing demands many qubits with long lifetimes to conduct accurate quantum gate operations. However, external noise limits the computing time of physical qubits. Quantum error correction codes may extend such limits, but imp erfect gate operations introduce errors to the correction procedure as well. The additional gate operations required due to the physical layout of qubits exacerbate the situation. Here, we use density-matrix simulations to investigate the performance change of logical qubits according to quantum error correction codes and qubit layouts and the expected performance of logical qubits with gate operation time and gate error rates. Considering current qubit technology, the small quantum error correction codes are chosen. Assuming 0.1% gate error probability, a logical qubit encoded by a 5-qubit quantum error correction code is expected to have a fidelity 0.25 higher than its physical counterpart.
Quantum entanglement is a key resource for quantum computation and quantum communication cite{Nielsen2010}. Scaling to large quantum communication or computation networks further requires the deterministic generation of multi-qubit entanglement cite{ Gottesman1999,Duan2001,Jiang2007}. The deterministic entanglement of two remote qubits has recently been demonstrated with microwave photons cite{Kurpiers2018,Axline2018,Campagne2018,Leung2019,Zhong2019}, optical photons cite{Humphreys2018} and surface acoustic wave phonons cite{Bienfait2019}. However, the deterministic generation and transmission of multi-qubit entanglement has not been demonstrated, primarily due to limited state transfer fidelities. Here, we report a quantum network comprising two separate superconducting quantum nodes connected by a 1 meter-long superconducting coaxial cable, where each node includes three interconnected qubits. By directly connecting the coaxial cable to one qubit in each node, we can transfer quantum states between the nodes with a process fidelity of $0.911pm0.008$. Using the high-fidelity communication link, we can prepare a three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state cite{Greenberger1990,Neeley2010,Dicarlo2010} in one node and deterministically transfer this state to the other node, with a transferred state fidelity of $0.656pm 0.014$. We further use this system to deterministically generate a two-node, six-qubit GHZ state, globally distributed within the network, with a state fidelity of $0.722pm0.021$. The GHZ state fidelities are clearly above the threshold of $1/2$ for genuine multipartite entanglement cite{Guhne2010}, and show that this architecture can be used to coherently link together multiple superconducting quantum processors, providing a modular approach for building large-scale quantum computers cite{Monroe2014,Chou2018}.
