Research Scientist at Google Quantum AI. Working on experimental quantum error correction with superconducting circuits.
Second, also out today from Nathan Lacroix, Alexandre Bourassa, Kevin Satzinger, and the rest of the Google Quantum AI is a realization of the color code, complete with logical operations! Check it out here: arxiv.org/abs/2412.14256
Scaling and logic in the color code on a superconducting quantum processor
Quantum error correction is essential for bridging the gap between the error rates of physical devices and the extremely low logical error rates required for quantum algorithms. Recent error-correctio...

Here we realize three novel QEC implementations:

- the surface code embedded on a hexagonal lattice
- a walking surface code
- the surface code using iSWAP gates instead of CZ gates,

each enabling a new avenue for design and optimization of QEC circuits and hardware.
