Abstract

En 中文
We introduce the spanning tree matching (STM) decoder for surface codes, which guarantees the error correction capability up to the code's designed distance by first employing an instance of the minimum spanning tree on a subset of ancilla qubits within the lattice. Then, a perfect matching graph is simply obtained, by selecting the edges more likely to be faulty. A comparative analysis reveals that the STM decoder, at the cost of a slight performance degradation, provides a substantial advantage in decoding time compared to the minimum weight perfect matching (MWPM) decoder. Finally, we propose an even more simplified and faster algorithm, the Rapid-Fire (RFire) decoder, designed for scenarios where decoding speed is a critical requirement.
