Adapting maximum likelihood decoders using just 1% of efficiently learned Pauli error rates via Cycle Error Reconstruction boosts quantum error correction performance up to 10×, helping lower the overhead for fault-tolerant quantum computing. @bartlettquantum.bsky.social arxiv.org/abs/2507.08536

arxiv.orgEnhancing Decoding Performance using Efficient Error LearningLowering the resource overhead needed to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computation is crucial to building scalable quantum computers. We show that adapting conventional maximum likelihood (ML) decode...

A first-of-its-kind research and development company has been launched by the @sydney.edu.au quantum technology team that worked closely with Microsoft Quantum for the best part of a decade. Emergence Quantum is delivering quantum technology’s “missing link”.

Our suite of efficient and scalable characterisation tools provide a wealth of data on these 156-qubit devices - simultaneous randomised benchmarking, *including* mid-circuit measurements, temporal constency, cross-talk, etc. It's like Christmas for QCVV tragics.

We've pushed the limits of the latest IBM devices to see the many ways that quantum logic can fail. We've performed a complementary pair of experiments on a quantum code - one testing memory, the other testing stability - highlighting the key role of mid-circuit measurements in fault-tolerant logic.

Great to have Prof Ian Walmsley visit us at Sydney Nano. We are both thinking about similar things: how to create research facilities and places that enable great science and new collaboration. Shared facilities for nanofab, HPC, etc are standard, but how can it work for quantum labs? Any ideas?

Did you know that contextuality of a set of quantum states is precisely captured by notions of antidistinguishability? Find out more in our new paper. Great collaboration with USYD PhD student Maiyuren Srikumar and the brilliant Angela Karanjai. arxiv.org/abs/2411.09919

arxiv.orgHow contextuality and antidistinguishability are relatedContextuality is a key characteristic that separates quantum from classical phenomena and an important tool in understanding the potential advantage of quantum computation. However, when assessing the...
