arXiv:2601.00242v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Realizing the full potential of quantum computation requires Quantum Error Correction (QEC). QEC reduces error rates by encoding logical information across redundant physical qubits, enabling errors to be detected and corrected. A common decoder used for this task is Minimum Weight Perfect Matching (MWPM) a graph-based algorithm that relies on edge weights to identify the most likely error chains. In this work, we propose a data-driven decoder named Neural Minimum Weight Perfect Matching (NMWPM). Our decoder utilizes a hybrid architectu
The increasing complexity and scale of quantum computation necessitate more robust and efficient error correction mechanisms, driving innovation in AI-enhanced decoding.
Improving quantum error correction is critical for realizing fault-tolerant quantum computers, making advancements in decoding algorithms a key enabler for the entire quantum computing field.
This work introduces a data-driven approach to quantum error correction, potentially offering more efficient and accurate decoding than traditional methods like Minimum Weight Perfect Matching.
