The performance of error correction protocols are necessary for understanding the operation of potential quantum computers, but this requires physical error models that can be simulated efficiently with classical computers. The Gottesmann-Knill theorem guarantees a class of such error models. Of these, one of the simplest is the Pauli twirling approximation (PTA), which is obtained by twirling an arbitrary completely positive error channel over the Pauli basis, resulting in a Pauli channel. In this work, we test the PTA's accuracy at predicting the logical error rate by simulating the 5-qubit code using a 9-qubit circuit with realistic decoherence and unitary gate errors. We find evidence for good agreement with exact simulation, with the PTA overestimating the logical error rate by a factor of 2 to 3. Our results suggest that the PTA is a reliable predictor of the logical error rate, at least for low-distance codes.

Quantum computers face significant challenges from quantum deviations or coherent noise, particularly during gate operations, which pose a complex threat to the efficacy of quantum error correction (QEC) protocols. Here we scrutinize the performance of the topological toric code in 2D under the dual influence of stochastic noise and quantum deviations, especially during the critical phases of initial state preparation and error detection facilitated by multiqubit entanglement gates. By mapping the multiround error detection protocol-from the inception of an imperfectly prepared code state via imperfect stabilizer measurements-to a statistical mechanical model (3D gauge theory coupled with 2D gauge theory), we establish a link between the error threshold and the model's phase transition.

Guidance and control of multiple unmanned surface vehicles (Multi-USVs) present many challenges due to their under-actuation and the unknown environmental disturbance. This research addresses the formation guidance and control problems of multi-USVs by designing a global fixed-time constrained guidance and control formation approach. First, a global fixed-time control Lyapunov function (GFCLF) is proposed using an innovative shift function to deal with the fixed-time output partial constraint.

Due to stringent thermal budgets in cryogenic technologies such as superconducting quantum computers and sensors, electronic building blocks that simultaneously offer low energy consumption, fast switching, low error rates, a small footprint, and simple fabrication are pivotal for large-scale devices. Here, we demonstrate a superconducting switch with attojoule switching energy, high speed (pico-second rise/fall times), and high integration density (on the order of 10 μm per switch). It consists of a superconducting nanochannel and a metal heater separated by an insulating silica layer.
