M.S. Paper Title: Resource Optimized Quantum Architectures for Surface
Code Implementations of Magic-State Distillation
Abstract:
Quantum computers capable of solving classically intractable problems
are under construction, and intermediate-scale devices are approaching
completion. Current efforts to design large-scale devices require
allocating immense resources to error correction, with the majority
being dedicated to the production of high-fidelity ancillary states
known as magic-states. Leading techniques focus on dedicating a large,
contiguous region of the processor as a single "magic-state
distillation factory" responsible for meeting the magic-state demands
of applications.
In this work we present a comprehensive analysis of the realistic
resource requirements of factories, along with optimized architectural
layouts that divide a single factory into spatially distributed
factories located throughout the processor. We find the distributed
factory architectures minimize the space-time volume overhead imposed
by state distillation, and the granularity of optimal configurations
is sensitive to application characteristics and underlying physical
device error rates. Our techniques yield between a 10x and 20x
resource reduction compared to commonly accepted single factory
designs, when applied to representative application classes such as
quantum simulation and quantum chemistry.
