When calculating the overhead of a quantum algorithm made fault-tolerant using the surface code, many previous works have used defects and braids for logical qubit storage and state distillation. In this work, we show that lattice surgery reduces the storage overhead by over a factor of 4, and the distillation overhead by nearly a factor of 5, making it possible to run algorithms with $10^8$ T gates using only $3.7times 10^5$ physical qubits capable of executing gates with error $psim 10^{-3}$. These numbers strongly suggest that defects and braids in the surface code should be deprecated in favor of lattice surgery.

We consider a model of quantum computation we call Varying-$Z$ (V$Z$), defined by applying controllable $Z$-diagonal Hamiltonians in the presence of a uniform and constant external $X$-field, and prove that it is universal, even in 1D. Universality i s demonstrated by construction of a universal gate set with $O(1)$ depth overhead. We then use this construction to describe a circuit whose output distribution cannot be classically simulated unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses, with the goal of providing a low-resource method of demonstrating quantum supremacy. The V$Z$ model can achieve quantum supremacy in $O(n)$ depth, equivalent to the random circuit sampling models despite a higher degree of homogeneity: it requires no individually addressed $X$-control.
In recent years, surface codes have become a leading method for quantum error correction in theoretical large scale computational and communications architecture designs. Their comparatively high fault-tolerant thresholds and their natural 2-dimensio nal nearest neighbour (2DNN) structure make them an obvious choice for large scale designs in experimentally realistic systems. While fundamentally based on the toric code of Kitaev, there are many variants, two of which are the planar- and defect- based codes. Planar codes require fewer qubits to implement (for the same strength of error correction), but are restricted to encoding a single qubit of information. Interactions between encoded qubits are achieved via transversal operations, thus destroying the inherent 2DNN nature of the code. In this paper we introduce a new technique enabling the coupling of two planar codes without transversal operations, maintaining the 2DNN of the encoded computer. Our lattice surgery technique comprises splitting and merging planar code surfaces, and enables us to perform universal quantum computation (including magic state injection) while removing the need for braided logic in a strictly 2DNN design, and hence reduces the overall qubit resources for logic operations. Those resources are further reduced by the use of a rotated lattice for the planar encoding. We show how lattice surgery allows us to distribute encoded GHZ states in a more direct (and overhead friendly) manner, and how a demonstration of an encoded CNOT between two distance 3 logical states is possible with 53 physical qubits, half of that required in any other known construction in 2D.
Lattice surgery protocols allow for the efficient implementation of universal gate sets with two-dimensional topological codes where qubits are constrained to interact with one another locally. In this work, we first introduce a decoder capable of co rrecting spacelike and timelike errors during lattice surgery protocols. Afterwards, we compute logical failure rates of a lattice surgery protocol for a full biased circuit-level noise model. We then provide a new protocol for performing twist-free lattice surgery. Our twist-free protocol reduces the extra circuit components and gate scheduling complexities associated with the measurement of higher weight stabilizers when using twists. We also provide a protocol for temporally encoded lattice surgery that can be used to reduce both runtimes and the total space-time costs of quantum algorithms. Lastly, we propose a layout for a quantum processor that is more efficient for surface codes exploiting noise bias, and which is compatible with the other techniques mentioned above.
Future quantum computers will require quantum error correction for faithful operation. The correction capabilities come with an overhead for performing fault-tolerant logical operations on the encoded qubits. One of the most resource efficient ways t o implement logical operations is lattice surgery, where groups of physical qubits, arranged on lattices, can be merged and split to realize entangling gates and teleport logical information. Here, we report on the experimental realization of lattice surgery between two topologically encoded qubits in a 10-qubit ion trap quantum information processor. In particular, we demonstrate entanglement between two logical qubits and we implement logical state teleportation.
Fault-tolerant quantum error correction is essential for implementing quantum algorithms of significant practical importance. In this work, we propose a highly effective use of the surface-GKP code, i.e., the surface code consisting of bosonic GKP qu bits instead of bare two-dimensional qubits. In our proposal, we use error-corrected two-qubit gates between GKP qubits and introduce a maximum likelihood decoding strategy for correcting shift errors in the two-GKP-qubit gates. Our proposed decoding reduces the total CNOT failure rate of the GKP qubits, e.g., from $0.87%$ to $0.36%$ at a GKP squeezing of $12$dB, compared to the case where the simple closest-integer decoding is used. Then, by concatenating the GKP code with the surface code, we find that the threshold GKP squeezing is given by $9.9$dB under the the assumption that finite-squeezing of the GKP states is the dominant noise source. More importantly, we show that a low logical failure rate $p_{L} < 10^{-7}$ can be achieved with moderate hardware requirements, e.g., $291$ modes and $97$ qubits at a GKP squeezing of $12$dB as opposed to $1457$ bare qubits for the standard rotated surface code at an equivalent noise level (i.e., $p=0.36%$). Such a low failure rate of our surface-GKP code is possible through the use of space-time correlated edges in the matching graphs of the surface code decoder. Further, all edge weights in the matching graphs are computed dynamically based on analog information from the GKP error correction using the full history of all syndrome measurement rounds. We also show that a highly-squeezed GKP state of GKP squeezing $gtrsim 12$dB can be experimentally realized by using a dissipative stabilization method, namely, the Big-small-Big method, with fairly conservative experimental parameters. Lastly, we introduce a three-level ancilla scheme to mitigate ancilla decay errors during a GKP state preparation.
