用自协调神经网络实现量子纠错实时并行解码,突破速度瓶颈。

Learning to Decode in Parallel: Self-Coordinating Neural Network for Real-Time Quantum Error Correction

  • 设计基于Transformer的循环神经网络,支持多窗口并行解码。
  • 在距离7的表面码上达到顶尖精度,单轮解码仅需1微秒。
  • 适合超导量子处理器的实时纠错,可扩展至距离25的编码。

快速可靠的解码器是实现容错量子计算(FTQC)的关键。如AlphaQubit的神经网络解码器已展现优于传统人工设计算法的潜力,但现有实现缺乏解码超导逻辑量子比特生成的综合征流所需的并行性。将AlphaQubit与滑动窗口并行解码方案结合面临挑战:其训练目标仅为输出整个实验的全局逻辑修正比特,而非可直接集成的局部物理修正。为此,我们训练了一种专为并行窗口解码设计的循环式Transformer神经网络。尽管仍输出单一比特,我们通过一致的局部修正集生成训练标签,并在多种解码窗口下联合训练。该方法使网络能跨相邻窗口自协调,实现高精度并行解码任意长度的内存实验。结果克服了此前阻碍使用AlphaQubit类解码器于FTQC的吞吐量瓶颈。本工作首次提出可扩展的神经网络并行解码框架,在保持当前最优准确率的同时,满足实时量子误差纠正所需的严格吞吐要求。通过端到端实验流程,我们在Zuchongzhi 3.2超导量子处理器上的表面码(距离达7)上验证了其优越准确性。此外,我们证明,采用本方法,单个TPU v6e可在每解码轮次1微秒内完成距离25的表面码解码。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fast, reliable decoders are pivotal components for enabling fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC). Neural network decoders like AlphaQubit have demonstrated potential, achieving higher accuracy than traditional human-designed decoding algorithms. However, existing implementations of neural network decoders lack the parallelism required to decode the syndrome stream generated by a superconducting logical qubit in real time. Moreover, integrating AlphaQubit with sliding window-based parallel decoding schemes presents non-trivial challenges: AlphaQubit is trained solely to output a single bit corresponding to the global logical correction for an entire memory experiment, rather than local physical corrections that can be easily integrated. We address this issue by training a recurrent, transformer-based neural network specifically tailored for parallel window decoding. While it still outputs a single bit, we derive training labels from a consistent set of local corrections and train on various types of decoding windows simultaneously. This approach enables the network to self-coordinate across neighboring windows, facilitating high-accuracy parallel decoding of arbitrarily long memory experiments. As a result, we overcome the throughput bottleneck that previously precluded the use of AlphaQubit-type decoders in FTQC. Our work presents the first scalable, neural-network-based parallel decoding framework that simultaneously achieves SOTA accuracy and the stringent throughput required for real-time quantum error correction. Using an end-to-end experimental workflow, we benchmark our decoder on the Zuchongzhi 3.2 superconducting quantum processor on surface codes with distances up to 7, demonstrating its superior accuracy. Moreover, we demonstrate that, using our approach, a single TPU v6e is capable of decoding surface codes with distances up to 25 within 1us per decoding round.
