Advantages of versatile neural-network decoding for topological codes

N Maskara, A Kubica, T Jochym-O'Connor - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
Finding optimal correction of errors in generic stabilizer codes is a computationally hard

Cellular-automaton decoders with provable thresholds for topological codes

A Kubica, J Preskill - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We propose a new cellular automaton (CA), the sweep rule, which generalizes Toom's rule
to any locally Euclidean lattice. We use the sweep rule to design a local decoder for the toric …

Topological error correcting processes from fixed-point path integrals
