Abstract

Techniques are described for implementing a class of multimode bosonic codes that protect against errors within an ancilla qubit coupled to a bosonic system, that can be realized experimentally. A logical qubit state is represented by the states of multiple different modes of one or more bosonic systems, which may include multiple modes of a single bosonic system and/or single modes from multiple bosonic systems. Techniques for correcting errors are also described. In particular, a series of operations are described that autonomously detect and correct errors by repeatedly performing a sequence of operations that are each applied to the multiple bosonic modes and/or to the ancilla qubit that is coupled to each of the bosonic modes. The codes allow ancilla errors to propagate to the modes of the bosonic system as correctable errors, where they can be corrected, instead of presenting as logical errors in the ancilla qubit.
