Logical multi-qubit entanglement with dual-rail superconducting qubits
摘要
Recent advances in quantum error correction in various hardware platforms have demonstrated operation near and beyond the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum computing. However, scaling up to achieve the exponential suppression of logical errors needed for fault tolerance remains challenging. Erasure qubits offer a path towards resource-efficient error correction, which enables the hardware-level detection of dominant error types. Single erasure qubits with dual-rail encoding in superconducting devices have demonstrated high coherence and low single-qubit gate errors with mid-circuit erasure detection. Here we demonstrate the generation of logical multi-qubit entanglement under error-biased protection using pairs of tunable transmons in a superconducting quantum processor. Each dual-rail qubit maintains millisecond-scale coherence times and logical single-qubit gate error rates on the order of 10−5 by using post-selection to mitigate erasure errors. We then demonstrate a logical
