講演概要
Quantum systems are subject to various kinds of noise, among which qubit loss can be particularly damaging for neutral atoms and trapped ions. Unlike erasure errors, loss errors are not heralded, making them more difficult to decode and correct. Many existing protocols convert loss errors into erasure errors using a quantum circuit called leakage detection unit (LDU). However, LDUs introduce additional space-time overhead and can themselves become a source of errors. To avoid using LDUs, We first derive a condition for detectable qubit-loss events using only syndrome-extraction outcomes and formulate the corresponding loss-inference problem. We also show that this problem can be relaxed to the minimum set cover problem. We then propose a protocol that performs loss inference without relying on LDUs. We evaluate the logical error rates of the proposed protocol and find that it outperforms an LDU-based approach under realistic error parameters for trapped-ion systems.
