GKP cluster-state code

GKP cluster-state code[1]

Description

Multi-mode code encoding logical qubits into a cluster-state stabilizer code concatenated with a single-mode GKP code. Provides a way to perform a continuous-variable (CV) analogue of fault-tolerant MBQC.

A cluster state of GKP qubits on a graph is made by applying two-mode \(C_Z\)-type gates \(e^{\pm i \hat{x}\otimes\hat{x}}\) to a tensor product of \(|\overline{+}\rangle\) logical GKP states on each vertex. Logical Clifford gates are performed on the cluster state using CV measurement-based computation [2,3], i.e., via a combination of linear-optical gates and homodyne measurements on subsets of vertices. Magic-state distillation is required for universal computation. GKP error correction can be naturally combined with CV measurement-based protocols since the performance of both is quantified by a squeezing parameter.

Gates

Single-mode logical Clifford gates can be performed using Gaussian operations and measurements on a 1D GKP cluster state, while two-mode logical Clifford gates require a 2D cluster state. Magic-state distillation using photon-counting can be used for a non-Clifford logical \(\pi/8\) gate.

Fault Tolerance

First encoding demonstrating the possibility of fault-tolerant measurement-based computation with CV cluster states. A fault-tolerance threshold can be achieved by concatenating existing fault-tolerant schemes for qubit-based cluster-state encodings with the GKP code [1].Hybrid cluster state consisting of GKP qubits at some modes and squeezed states at others has been proposed to work in a fault-tolerant scheme [4].
