In his latest work my student @evanhockings.bsky.social shows you can use ACES noise characterisation to train a decoder and improve noise suppression in the surface code even for very large codes.
Why characterise noise in syndrome extraction circuits? One reason: directly improving quantum error correction!
In simulations of the surface code, we find that noise-aware decoding—calibrating the decoder with noise estimates—improves the code's error suppression factor.

Large scale characterisation of errors in quantum computers. Very excited to see @evanhockings.bsky.social first paper out just days before he submits his thesis.
My first paper—with @acdoherty.bsky.social and Robin Harper—is now out in PRX Quantum! More to come soon :)

ArXiv quant-ph needs to be split up! Paul Ginsparg lists Daniel Gottesman's proposed subcategories at his @aspenphysics.bsky.social talk. He is looking for feedback: please reply, dm, or email.

Repost this if you’re old enough to remember when they tried to convince us that “global warming stopped in 2008” (or whenever).
