We've been getting a lot of questions about alternate QEC codes, and are we looking into any? Yes! Here's experiments for two on Willow. The color code: arxiv.org/abs/2412.14256 Dynamic surface codes: arxiv.org/abs/2412.14360

🌳 Excited to introduce Willow, Google Quantum AI’s latest chip. Willow 5x’s coherence times, beats the Surface Code QEC threshold, and the time to reproduce Willow's RCS on Frontier supercomputer is estimated at 10^25 years⏳! 👇 thread #Quantum #Physics #Science blog.google/technology/r...
