Abstract
A method for quantum error correction includes: trapping and/or manipulating an array of qubits that include encoded neutral atoms or ions and forms a computational space; encoding the array of qubits to a state characterized in that an error during at least one of an idling, gate, or other operation results in a respective qubit transition to a disjointed state where that error can be detected without disturbing the qubits remaining in the computational space; performing a syndrome measurement of a quantum error correcting code; identifying the presence and location of an error by detecting the corresponding neutral atom or ion has left the computational space after performing the operation; identifying a logical error in the quantum error correcting code associated with a loss of qubit information based on the identified error location and results of the syndrome measurement; and adjusting subsequent computational steps based on the identified logical error.
