Toward Uncertainty-Aware and Generalizable Neural Decoding for Quantum LDPC Codes

The paper introduces QuBA, a Quantum Bayesian graph Attention decoder that provides expressive error-pattern recognition and calibrated uncertainty estimates for quantum error correction. It also presents SAGU, a multi-phase training framework that enhances cross-domain robustness, allowing decoding beyond the training set. Experiments on bivariate bicycle codes show that both QuBA and SAGU outperform classical belief propagation, achieving up to two orders of magnitude lower logical error rates and comparable or better performance than domain-specific training approaches.

Learning Encodings by Maximizing State Distinguishability: Variational Quantum Error Correction

The paper introduces a new objective function for designing quantum error correction codes that maximizes the distinguishability of quantum states after a noise channel. This approach, called variational quantum error correction (VarQEC), uses a distinguishability loss function as a machine learning objective to discover encoding circuits tailored to specific noise characteristics. The authors demonstrate that VarQEC produces resource‑efficient codes that outperform standard codes and provide proof‑of‑concept experiments on IBM and IQM hardware.
