Abstract
A multirail-encoded qubit can be implemented using a quantum system having a state space that includes a number M of distinct modes, where M is an integer greater than 2. The M modes are logically partitioned into two disjoint subsets (or 'bands'), with each mode assigned to exactly one of the bands. The multirail encoding is defined such that a state in which any one of the modes in the first band is occupied and all modes in the second band are unoccupied maps to a logical 0 state of the qubit, and a state in which any one of the modes in the second band is occupied and all modes of the first band are unoccupied maps to a logical 1 state. Systems and methods for generating, measuring, and operating on multirail-encoded qubits are disclosed.
