Fundamental thresholds of realistic quantum error correction circuits from classical spin models (2104.04847v2)

Published 10 Apr 2021 in quant-ph, cond-mat.stat-mech, and hep-lat

Abstract: Mapping quantum error correcting codes to classical disordered statistical mechanics models and studying the phase diagram of the latter has proven a powerful tool to study the fundamental error robustness and associated critical error thresholds of leading quantum error correcting codes under phenomenological noise models. In this work, we extend this mapping to admit realistic, multi-parameter faulty quantum circuits in the description of quantum error correcting codes. Based on the underlying microscopic circuit noise model, we first systematically derive the associated strongly correlated classical spin models. We illustrate this approach in detail for the example of a quantum repetition code in which faulty stabilizer readout circuits are periodically applied. Finally, we use Monte-Carlo simulations to study the resulting phase diagram of the associated interacting spin model and benchmark our results against a minimum-weight perfect matching decoder. The presented method provides an avenue to assess the fundamental thresholds of QEC codes and associated readout circuitry, independent of specific decoding strategies, and can thereby help guiding the development of near-term QEC hardware.
