  • Enhanced capabilities for quantum information processing
  • Potential for advancements in quantum communication systems


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus and method are provided for storing and processing quantum information. More particularly, a physical layout is provided to perform Floquet codes. The physical layout includes a quantum processor having an array of qubits (e.g., columns of tetrons or hexons in which zero modes are located on topological superconductor segments) with a gateable semiconductor devices forming interference loops to perform two-qubit Pauli measurements. Coherent links between qubits in a column enable certain two-qubit Pauli measurements, especially those additional two-qubit Pauli measurements used at a boundary surrounding a region of the bulk code. The two-qubit Pauli measurements are selected to minimize a size of the interference loops. Certain embodiments perform Floquet codes in six time steps. Hexagon embodiments tile the array of qubits with unit cells of 6-gon vertical (or horizontal) bricks. Square-octagon embodiments tile the array of qubits with unit cells of two 4-gon and two 8-gon bricks.
