arXiv:2601. 00242v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Realizing the full potential of quantum computation requires Quantum Error Correction (QEC).
arXiv:2607. 05814v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-time decoding is a major bottleneck in scaling quantum error correction (QEC) from noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices to fault-tolerant quantum computing.
arXiv:2607. 28422v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) relies on quantum error correction to suppress physical errors and preserve logical information at scale.
arXiv:2606. 27119v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation decoders, a class of high-capacity neural decoders, are leading candidates for fault-tolerant quantum computing, with accurate and efficient decoding at large code distances.
arXiv:2608. 15760v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Decoding is an essential component of quantum error correction (QEC), translating stabilizer measurement outcomes into corrective actions that suppress logical errors and preserve logical quantum information.
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.
