Optimizing the Electrical Interface for Large-Scale Color-Center Quantum Processors

Quantum processors based on color centers in diamond are promising candidates for future large-scale quantum computers thanks to their flexible optical interface, (relatively) high operating temperature, and high-fidelity operation. Similar to other quantum computing platforms, the electrical interface required to control and read out such qubits may limit both the performance of the whole system […]

Trellis Decoding for Qudit Stabilizer Codes and Its Application to Qubit Topological Codes

Trellis decoders are a general decoding technique first applied to qubit-based quantum error correction codes by Ollivier and Tillich in 2006. Here, we improve the scalability and practicality of their theory, show that it has strong structure, extend the results using classical coding theory as a guide, and demonstrate a canonical form from which the […]

Depth Optimization of CZ, CNOT, and Clifford Circuits

We seek to develop better upper bound guarantees on the depth of quantum CZ gate, cnot gate, and Clifford circuits than those reported previously. We focus on the number of qubits n≤ 1 345 000 (de Brugière et al. , 2021), which represents the most practical use case. Our upper bound on the depth of CZ circuits is ⌊n/2+0.4993⋅log2(n)+3.0191⋅log(n)−10.9139⌋ , improving the best-known […]

A Grover Search-Based Algorithm for the List Coloring Problem

Graph coloring is a computationally difficult problem, and currently the best known classical algorithm for k -coloring of graphs on n vertices has runtimes Ω(2n) for k≥5 . The list coloring problem asks the following more general question: given a list of available colors for each vertex in a graph, does it admit a proper coloring? We propose a hybrid classical-quantum algorithm based […]
