Fault-Tolerant Syndrome Extraction and Cat State Preparation with Fewer Qubits

Authors: Prithviraj Prabhu and Ben W. Reichardt

Abstract
We reduce the extra qubits needed for two fault-tolerant quantum computing protocols: error correction, specifically syndrome bit measurement, and cat state preparation. For fault-tolerant syndrome extraction, we show an exponential reduction in qubit overhead over the previous best protocol. For a weight-w stabilizer, we demonstrate that stabilizer measurement tolerating one fault (distance-three) needs at most ⌈ log₂ w ⌉ + 1 ancillas. If qubits reset quickly, four ancillas suffice. We also study the preparation of cat states, simple yet versatile entangled states. We prove that the overhead needed for distance-three fault tolerance is only logarithmic in the cat state size. These results could be useful both for near-term experiments with a few qubits, and for the general study of the asymptotic resource requirements of syndrome measurement and state preparation. For 'a' measured flag bits, there are 2^a possible flag patterns that can identify faults. Hence our results come from solving a combinatorial problem: the construction of maximal-length paths in the a-dimensional hypercube, corresponding to maximal-weight stabilizers or maximal-weight cat states.
