Overall, we see better logical error suppression per amount of entanglement (ebits) than for other protocols, although it comes at the cost of an increased number of physical qubits to achieve the same code distance.

To avoid propagation of errors from the interface, we use an alternating sequence of syndrome-measurement circuits, which may be of independent interest.

Our protocol is based on an equivalence between Bell measurements and Bell pairs, which can be seen through ZX calculus.

As an application, we show these three-qubit gates could rapidly generate high-fidelity highly entangled GHZ states among three and five giant atoms along a waveguide.

Here, we show that three giant atoms can be tuned to points where they don’t lose any energy into the waveguide, but exchange excitations through the waveguide to implement three-qubit CCZS and DIV gates.

For single-qubit gates, we find that the serialization overhead generally scales only logarithmically in the number of qubits sharing a drive line. We are able to explain this finding using queueing theory.

We quantify this trade-off and find it to be surprisingly benign. We show that couplers for two-qubit gates can be grouped on common drive lines without any overhead up to a limit set by the connectivity of the qubits.

We want to limit the number of control lines going into the fridge hosting qubits, to reduce cooling requirements and electronics. But this risks quantum algorithms taking longer to execute and becoming affected by noise, since fewer qubits can be controlled in parallel.

We look at our previously developed XYZ^2 code for quantum error correction (quantum-journal.org/papers/q-202...), show how it can be viewed as a concatenation of a YZZY surface code and a phase-flip parity-check code, and use this to sequentially decode errors, achieving good thresholds. (2/2)
