用神经网络解码器实现高效量子纠错,大幅降低错误率与延迟。

Scalable Neural Decoders for Practical Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation

  • 采用卷积神经网络捕捉量子纠错码的几何结构进行解码。
  • 在0.1%物理错误率下实现约10^-10的逻辑错误率,比现有方法低17倍。
  • 解码速度提升3-5个数量级,适合当前主流硬件实时运行。

量子纠错是实现可扩展量子计算的关键。然而,其需要快速且准确的经典解码器以跟上量子硬件的速度。尽管量子低密度奇偶校验码为高效容错提供了新路径,但现有解码算法尚未充分发挥这些码的优势。本文提出一种利用量子纠错码几何结构的卷积神经网络解码器,揭示了一种新的“瀑布”式错误抑制区域。结果显示,在当前物理错误率下,仅需适度码尺寸即可达到大规模容错算法所需的逻辑错误率,且解码延迟符合多个领先硬件平台的实时预算。例如,对于[144, 12, 12] Gross码,该解码器在物理错误率p=0.1%时,逻辑错误率可达约10^-10,较现有方法降低约17倍,同时吞吐量提升3-5个数量级。此外,解码器还提供可靠的置信度估计,显著减少重复成功协议的时间开销。总体表明,容错量子计算所需的空间-时间成本可能远低于此前预期。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Quantum error correction (QEC) is essential for scalable quantum computing. However, it requires classical decoders that are fast and accurate enough to keep pace with quantum hardware. While quantum low-density parity-check codes have recently emerged as a promising route to efficient fault tolerance, current decoding algorithms do not allow one to realize the full potential of these codes in practical settings. Here, we introduce a convolutional neural network decoder that exploits the geometric structure of QEC codes, and use it to probe a novel "waterfall" regime of error suppression, demonstrating that the logical error rates required for large-scale fault-tolerant algorithms are attainable with modest code sizes at current physical error rates, and with latencies within the real-time budgets of several leading hardware platforms. For example, for the $[144, 12, 12]$ Gross code, the decoder achieves logical error rates up to $\sim 17$x below existing decoders - reaching logical error rates $\sim 10^{-10}$ at physical error $p=0.1\%$ - with 3-5 orders of magnitude higher throughput. This decoder also produces well-calibrated confidence estimates that can significantly reduce the time overhead of repeat-until-success protocols. Taken together, these results suggest that the space-time costs associated with fault-tolerant quantum computation may be significantly lower than previously anticipated.
