Dynamic circuit for the honeycomb Floquet code

In the typical implementation of a quantum error-correcting code, each stabilizer is measured by entangling one or more ancilla qubits with the data qubits and measuring the ancilla qubits to deduce the value of the stabilizer. Recently, the dynamic circuit approach has been introduced, in which stabilizers are measured without ancilla qubits. Here, we demonstrate that dynamic circuits are particularly useful for the Floquet code. Our dynamic circuit increases the timelike distance of the code, automatically removes leakage, and both significantly increases the threshold and lowers the logical error rate compared to the standard ancilla-based circuit. At a physical error rate of ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$, we estimate a nearly $3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}$ reduction in the number of qubits required to reach a ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}12}$ logical error rate.
