Inventors

Dominic Williamson, Theodore James Yoder

Abstract

One or more systems, devices, computer program products and/or computer-implemented methods of use provided herein relate to low-overhead fault-tolerant quantum computation by gauging logical operators. For example, a system can comprise a memory that can store computer executable components and a processor that can execute the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a graph selection component that can select an auxiliary graph. The computer executable components can further comprise a measurement component that can measure a logical operator by executing, on a quantum system, a deformed quantum stabilizer code based on the auxiliary graph.
