Abstract
A computing system including one or more processing devices configured to receive a stabilizer channel sequence of three or more stabilizer channels and respective fault sets. The one or more processing devices compute a lower-bound channel distance of the stabilizer channel sequence at least in part by computing lower-bound channel distances of compositions of adjacent pairs of stabilizer channels. For a stabilizer channel and a plurality of partition timestep counts, computing the lower-bound channel distance further includes receiving an indication of whether there exists a partition of the fault set of that stabilizer channel that has that partition timestep count and for which the stabilizer channel is time-local. Computing the lower-bound channel distance further includes selecting a lowest value among the lower-bound channel distances of the compositions and each of the partition timestep counts that has a time-locality-satisfying partition. The one or more processing devices output the lower-bound channel distance.
