Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trapped-ion quantum information processing is among the most promising candidates to realize a scalable quantum computer. A segmented Paul trap can be used to move ions in and out of storage and processing regions via dynamic register reconfiguration operations, enabling effective all-to-all connectivity. The processing region is dedicated to perform laser-driven operations, such as single-qubit rotations and two-qubit entangling gates. To achieve the long-term goal of a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer, it is of crucial importance to realize quantum error correction. This thesis focuses on the experimental realization of a fault-tolerant (FT) weight- 4 parity check measurement (PCM) scheme on a trapped-ion quantum processor node. The scheme presented here uses only minimal resource overhead in the form of one additional 'flag' qubit, to detect errors that would proliferate onto the data qubit register as uncorrectable weight-2 errors. This parity check measurement is an important building block in a broad class of resource-efficient flag-based quantum error correction protocols, such as the topological color code. The experimental result presented is one of the first realizations of the FT PCM scheme on a shuttlingbased trapped-ion quantum computing architecture. A parity measurement fidelity of 92.3(2)% is achieved, which is increased to 93.2(2)% upon flag-qubit conditioning, exceeding the bare parity fidelity by 4.5 standard errors. Injection of bit- and phaseflip errors shows that the scheme is able to reliably intercept faults. For holistic benchmarking, an entanglement witnessing scheme is used, to verify the generation of six-qubit multipartite entanglement, involving all ions participating in the faulttolerant parity measurement. Within the work presented here, improvements of the register reconfiguration operations were carried out, in order to reduce the motional excitation in quantum circuits with a high number of transport, separation/merge and positional ion swap operations, such as the parity measurement scheme. Taking into account the architectural features of the shuttling-based trapped-ion quantum processor, such as effective all-to-all connectivity and no operational crosstalk, the demonstrated building block of flag-based fault-tolerant quantum error correction lays out a clear path towards scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Over a decade has passed since this monumental accomplishment yet no book-length pedagogical presentation of this important theory exists. Quantum Error Correction and Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing offers the first full-length exposition on the realization of a theory once thought impossible. It provides in-depth coverage on the most important class of codes discovered to date—quantum stabilizer codes. It brings together the central themes of quantum error correction and fault-tolerant procedures to prove the accuracy threshold theorem for a particular noise error model. The author also includes a derivation of well-known bounds on the parameters of quantum error correcting code. Packed with over 40 real-world problems, 35 field exercises, and 17 worked-out examples, this book is the essential resource for any researcher interested in entering the quantum field as well as for those who want to understand how the unexpected realization of quantum computing is possible.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum Information Processing is a field of research that covers all the scientific and technological development that uses the principles of quantum mechanics for communication and computation. It seeks to understand and develop new ways of processing, storing, and transmitting information based on quantum mechanics. Quantum information processing has been a central focus of research during the last few decades and relevant results establish that quantum information processing can exceed those traditional ways of processing information. For example, quantum cryptography ensures more secure communications, and quantum computation has the potential to solve problems in faster polynomial time for which classical algorithms have not been found. Also, in quantum computation, we could simulate physical systems and processes, which can not be done with current supercomputers. However, one of the major challenges to the experimental realization of reliable quantum information processors is that quantum systems are really sensitive to noise. Unwanted interactions with the environment lead to errors that can corrupt the results of quantum computation. Nevertheless, the theory of fault-tolerant quantum computation establishes that quantum computation is still possible if the noise in the quantum processor is not too strong. Fault-tolerant quantum computation operates on qubits encoded in a quantum errorcorrecting code. In quantum error correction, parity-check measurements allow the detection of faults in the encoded information. The fault-tolerant theory also tells us how to perform quantum gates on encoded qubits where single errors do not spread uncontrollably. However, ensuring the correct functioning of quantum error correction circuits is crucial to achieving fault tolerance inquantum processors subjected to noise...

Download or read book The Complexity of Noise written by Amit Hagar and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum computers are hypothetical quantum information processing (QIP) devices that allow one to store, manipulate, and extract information while harnessing quantum physics to solve various computational problems and do so putatively more efficiently than any known classical counterpart (5). Physical objects as they are, QIP devices are subject to the laws of physics. No doubt, the application of these laws is error-free, but noise - be it external influences or hardware imprecisions - can sometimes cause a mismatch between what the QIP device is supposed to do and what it actually does. In recent years the elimination of noise that result from external disturbances or from imperfect gates has become the "holy grail" within the quantum computing community, and a worldwide quest for a large scale, fault-tolerant, and computationally superior QIP device is currently taking place. Whether such machines are possible is an exciting open question, yet the debate on their feasibility has been so far rather ideological in character (45) (66)(110) (162). Remarkably, philosophers of science have been mostly silent about it: common wisdom has it that philosophy should not intervene in what appears to be (and is also presented as) an engineering problem, and besides, the mathematics employed in the theory of fault-tolerant quantum error correction (FTQEC henceforth) is rather daunting. It turns out, however, that behind this technical veil the central issues at the heart of the debate are worthy of philosophical analysis and, moreover, bear strong similarities to the conceptual problems that have been saturating a field quite familiar to philosophers, namely the foundations of statistical mechanics (SM henceforth). Reconstructing the debate on FTQEC with statistical mechanical analogies, this book aims to introduce it to readership outside the quantum computing community, and to take preliminary steps towards making it less ideological and mor

This book was released on 2005 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In studies of the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum error-correction, it is generally assumed that the noise channel at all levels of error-correction is the depolarizing channel. The effects of this assumption on the threshold result are unknown. We address this problem by calculating the effective noise channel at all levels of error-correction specifically for the Steane [[7,1,3]] code, and we recalculate the threshold using the new noise channels. We present a detailed analytical framework for these calculations and run numerical simulations for comparison. We find that only X and Z failures occur with significant probability in the effective noise channel at higher levels of error-correction. We calculate that when changes in the noise channel are accounted for, the value of the threshold for the Steane [[7,1,3]] code increases by about 30 percent, from .00030 to .00039, when memory failures occur with one tenth the probability of all other failures. Furthermore, our analytical model provides a framework for calculating thresholds for systems where the initial noise channel is very different from the depolarizing channel, such as is the case for ion trap quantum computation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum computation may seem to be a topic for science fiction, but small quantum computers have existed for several years and larger machines are on the drawing table. These efforts have been fueled by a tantalizing property: while conventional computers employ a binary representation that allows computational power to scale linearly with resources at best, quantum computations employ quantum phenomena that can interact to allow computational power that is exponential in the number of "quantum bits" in the system. Quantum devices rely on the ability to control and manipulate binary data stored in the phase information of quantum wave functions that describe the electronic states of individual atoms or the polarization states of photons. While existing quantum technologies are in their infancy, we shall see that it is not too early to consider scalability and reliability. In fact, such considerations are a critical link in the development chain of viable device technologies capable of orchestrating reliable control of tens of millions quantum bits in a large-scale system. The goal of this lecture is to provide architectural abstractions common to potential technologies and explore the systemslevel challenges in achieving scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computation. The central premise of the lecture is directed at quantum computation (QC) architectural issues. We stress the fact that the basic tenet of large-scale quantum computing is reliability through system balance: the need to protect and control the quantum information just long enough for the algorithm to complete execution. To architectQCsystems, onemust understand what it takes to design and model a balanced, fault-tolerant quantum architecture just as the concept of balance drives conventional architectural design. For example, the register file depth in classical computers is matched to the number of functional units, the memory bandwidth to the cache miss rate, or the interconnect bandwidth matched to the compute power of each element of a multiprocessor. We provide an engineering-oriented introduction to quantum computation and provide an architectural case study based upon experimental data and future projection for ion-trap technology.We apply the concept of balance to the design of a quantum computer, creating an architecture model that balances both quantum and classical resources in terms of exploitable parallelism in quantum applications. From this framework, we also discuss the many open issues remaining in designing systems to perform quantum computation.
