QEC: Extend qtcodes

[amirebrahimi]

Description

The purpose of this project is to take the great work done on qtcodes and extend it to:

• Add support for rectangular geometry
• Build topological circuits using qubits of varying code types and sizes
• Allow for specifying the overall topology of many logical qubits

As a stretch goal, we'd like to:

• Demonstrate magic state distillation
• Implement support for twist-based lattice surgery

Mentor/s

James Wootton

Participants

Amir Ebrahimi
Jeffrey Gong
Shantanu Jha

Deliverable

Improvements to the qtcodes project.

@Phionx would you like to work with @amirebrahimi under the mentorship project to extend your qtcodes project? @quantumjim Would you like to be a mentor if this is an extension of qtcodes?

[quantumjim]

Could do, yep. One thing I’ve been wanting to do myself is basically redo this paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.03927 But with qtcodes. So that’s one possible idea.

Sure! The more collaborators on qtcodes the better :)
Feel free to explore https://github.com/yaleqc/qtcodes/issues for potential ideas or open issues with new ideas!

My last project was based on designing a surface code for an asymmetric error channel that could correct 2 Z errors and single X errors. I would love to work on this project if it is on similar lines. @amirebrahimi
I am still exploring qtcodes, but I would love to contribute if you ever wish to implement https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.03927 @quantumjim
