Abstract
A computing system including a processor configured to receive an indication of one or more dead data qubits and one or more dead auxiliary qubits among qubits included in a quantum computing device. The qubits are arranged in a lattice that includes plaquettes. Each of the plaquettes includes data qubits and auxiliary qubits. The processor is further configured to compute a reduced lattice by, for each of the plaquettes that includes at least one dead data qubit, computing a respective first reduced plaquette that omits the dead data qubit. For each of the plaquettes that includes at least one dead auxiliary qubit, the processor is further configured to compute the reduced lattice at least in part by computing a respective second reduced plaquette that omits the dead auxiliary qubit. The processor is further configured to output instructions to implement an error correction code on the reduced lattice.
