Fast and Parallelizable Logical Computation with Homological Product Codes

Quantum error correction is necessary to perform large-scale quantum computation but requires extremely large overheads in both space and time. High-rate quantum low-density-parity-check (qLDPC) codes promise a route to reduce qubit numbers, but performing computation while maintaining low space cost has required serialization of operations and extra time costs. In this work, we design fast and parallelizable logical gates for qLDPC codes and demonstrate their utility for key algorithmic subroutines such as the quantum adder. Our gate gadgets utilize transversal logical s between a data qLDPC code and a suitably constructed ancilla code to perform parallel Pauli product measurements (PPMs) on the data logical qubits. For hypergraph product codes, we show that the ancilla can be constructed by simply modifying the base classical codes of the data code, achieving parallel PPMs on a subgrid of the logical qubits with a lower space-time cost than existing schemes for an important class of circuits. Generalizations to 3D and 4D homological product codes further feature fast PPMs in constant depth. While prior work on qLDPC codes has focused on individual logical gates, we initiate the study of fault-tolerant compilation with our expanded set of native qLDPC code operations, constructing algorithmic primitives for preparing <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mi>k</a:mi></a:math>-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and distilling or teleporting <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><c:mi>k</c:mi></c:math> magic states with <e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><e:mi>O</e:mi><e:mo stretchy="false">(</e:mo><e:mn>1</e:mn><e:mo stretchy="false">)</e:mo></e:math> space overhead in <i:math xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><i:mi>O</i:mi><i:mo stretchy="false">(</i:mo><i:mn>1</i:mn><i:mo stretchy="false">)</i:mo></i:math> and <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><m:mi>O</m:mi><m:mo stretchy="false">(</m:mo><m:msqrt><m:mi>k</m:mi></m:msqrt><m:mi>log</m:mi><m:mi>k</m:mi><m:mo stretchy="false">)</m:mo></m:math> logical cycles, respectively.

Abstract

Quantum error correction is necessary to perform large-scale quantum computation but requires extremely large overheads in both space and time. High-rate quantum low-density-parity-check (qLDPC) codes promise a route to reduce qubit numbers, but performing computation while maintaining low space cost has required serialization of operations and extra time costs. In this work, we design fast and parallelizable logical gates for qLDPC codes and demonstrate their utility for key algorithmic subroutines such as the quantum adder. Our gate gadgets utilize transversal logical s between a data qLDPC code and a suitably constructed ancilla code to perform parallel Pauli product measurements (PPMs) on the data logical qubits. For hypergraph product codes, we show that the ancilla can be constructed by simply modifying the base classical codes of the data code, achieving parallel PPMs on a subgrid of the logical qubits with a lower space-time cost than existing schemes for an important class of circuits. Generalizations to 3D and 4D homological product codes further feature fast PPMs in constant depth. While prior work on qLDPC codes has focused on individual logical gates, we initiate the study of fault-tolerant compilation with our expanded set of native qLDPC code operations, constructing algorithmic primitives for preparing <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mi>k</a:mi></a:math>-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and distilling or teleporting <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><c:mi>k</c:mi></c:math> magic states with <e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><e:mi>O</e:mi><e:mo stretchy="false">(</e:mo><e:mn>1</e:mn><e:mo stretchy="false">)</e:mo></e:math> space overhead in <i:math xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><i:mi>O</i:mi><i:mo stretchy="false">(</i:mo><i:mn>1</i:mn><i:mo stretchy="false">)</i:mo></i:math> and <m:math xmlns:m="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><m:mi>O</m:mi><m:mo stretchy="false">(</m:mo><m:msqrt><m:mi>k</m:mi></m:msqrt><m:mi>log</m:mi><m:mi>k</m:mi><m:mo stretchy="false">)</m:mo></m:math> logical cycles, respectively. We further generalize this to key algorithmic subroutines, demonstrating the efficient implementation of quantum adders using parallel operations.
