I will give an overview of what I see as some of the most important future directions in the
theory of fault-tolerant quantum computation. In particular, I will give a brief summary of the …

The ambition of harnessing the quantum for computation is at odds with the fundamental
phenomenon of decoherence. The purpose of quantum error correction (QEC) is to …

Practical quantum computing will require error rates well below those achievable with
physical qubits. Quantum error correction, offers a path to algorithmically relevant error rates …

In this work, we introduce a fast implementation of the minimum-weight perfect matching
(MWPM) decoder, the most widely used decoder for several important families of quantum …

To run large-scale algorithms on a quantum computer, error-correcting codes must be able
to perform a fundamental set of operations, called logic gates, while isolating the encoded …

The narrative around quantum computing is evolving quickly. First reports of quantum
computers able to solve certain scientific problems on-par with the precision of High …

We present a quantum circuit optimization technique that takes into account the variability in
error rates that is inherent across present-day noisy quantum computing platforms. This …

Realizing the full potential of quantum computation requires quantum error correction (QEC),
with most recent breakthrough demonstrations of QEC using the surface code. QEC codes …

Many proposals to scale quantum technology rely on modular or distributed designs
wherein individual quantum processors, called nodes, are linked together to form one large …

Minimizing leakage from computational states is a challenge when using many-level
systems like superconducting quantum circuits as qubits. We realize and extend the …
