Abstract
One of the biggest obstacles to building a large scale quantum computer is the high qubit cost of protecting quantum information. For two-dimensional architectures, the surface code has long been the leading candidate quantum memory, but can require upwards of a thousand physical qubits per logical qubit to reach algorithmically-relevant logical error rates. In this work, we introduce a hierarchical memory formed from surface codes concatenated into high-density parity check codes. These yoked surface codes are arrayed in a rectangular grid, with parity checks (yokes) measured along each row, and optionally along each column, using lattice surgery. Our construction assumes no additional connectivity beyond a nearest-neighbor square qubit grid operating at a physical error rate of 10−3. At algorithmically-relevant logical error rates, yoked surface codes use as few as one-third the number of physical qubits per logical qubit as standard surface codes, enabling moderate-overhead fault-tolerant quantum memories in two dimensions.
