新量子纠错解码器兼顾高准确率与低计算开销,逼近理论极限。

SAQ: Stabilizer-Aware Quantum Error Correction Decoder

  • 用双流Transformer+逻辑约束后处理,联合解码量子纠错信息。
  • 在环面码上误差阈值达10.99%(独立噪声)和18.6%(去极化噪声)。
  • 适合需要高效高精度解码的量子计算系统研发者参考。

量子误差纠正(QEC)解码面临准确率与效率的根本权衡。经典方法如最小权重完美匹配(MWPM)在不同噪声模型下表现不稳定,且复杂度为多项式;张量网络解码虽精度高,但计算成本过高。近期神经解码器降低了复杂度,但准确率仍不及昂贵的经典方法。本文提出SAQ-Decoder,一种结合Transformer学习与约束感知后处理的统一框架,实现接近最大似然(ML)的准确率,并具备随综合征规模线性增长的计算可扩展性。该方法采用双流Transformer架构,分别处理故障信息与逻辑信息,引入非对称注意力机制,并设计一种可微逻辑损失函数,通过有限域上的平滑近似直接优化逻辑错误率(LER)。在环面码上,SAQ-Decoder达到10.99%(独立噪声)和18.6%(去极化噪声)的误差阈值,逼近理论最优值11.0%与18.9%,同时优于现有神经与经典基线,在准确率、复杂度与参数效率方面均具优势。结果表明,学习型解码器可同时实现高准确率与高效率,满足实用容错量子计算系统的核心需求。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Quantum Error Correction (QEC) decoding faces a fundamental accuracy-efficiency tradeoff. Classical methods like Minimum Weight Perfect Matching (MWPM) exhibit variable performance across noise models and suffer from polynomial complexity, while tensor network decoders achieve high accuracy but at prohibitively high computational cost. Recent neural decoders reduce complexity but lack the accuracy needed to compete with computationally expensive classical methods. We introduce SAQ-Decoder, a unified framework combining transformer-based learning with constraint aware post-processing that achieves both near Maximum Likelihood (ML) accuracy and linear computational scalability with respect to the syndrome size. Our approach combines a dual-stream transformer architecture that processes syndromes and logical information with asymmetric attention patterns, and a novel differentiable logical loss that directly optimizes Logical Error Rates (LER) through smooth approximations over finite fields. SAQ-Decoder achieves near-optimal performance, with error thresholds of 10.99% (independent noise) and 18.6% (depolarizing noise) on toric codes that approach the ML bounds of 11.0% and 18.9% while outperforming existing neural and classical baselines in accuracy, complexity, and parameter efficiency. Our findings establish that learned decoders can simultaneously achieve competitive decoding accuracy and computational efficiency, addressing key requirements for practical fault-tolerant quantum computing systems.
