We develop a recently proposed mapping of the two-dimensional Ising model with random exchange (RBIM) via the transfer matrix, to a network model for a disordered system of noninteracting fermions. The RBIM transforms in this way to a localization problem belonging to one of a set of nonstandard symmetry classes, known as class D; the transition between paramagnet and ferromagnet is equivalent to a delocalization transition between an insulator and a quantum Hall conductor. We establish the…

### Efficient Algorithms for Maximum Likelihood Decoding in the Surface Code

• Computer Science
• 2014
Two implementations of the optimal error correction algorithm known as the maximum likelihood decoder (MLD) for the 2D surface code with a noiseless syndrome extraction are described and a significant reduction of the logical error probability for $\chi\ge 4$.

### Quantum information and statistical mechanics: an introduction to frontier

This is a short review on an interdisciplinary field of quantum information science and statistical mechanics. We first give a pedagogical introduction to the stabilizer formalism, which is an

• Physics
• 2009
We consider the random-bond ±J Ising model on a square lattice as a function of the temperature T and of the disorder parameter p (p=1 corresponds to the pure Ising model). We investigate the

• Physics
• 2022
In the ﬁeld of monitored quantum circuits, it has remained an open question whether ﬁnite-time protocols for preparing long-range entangled (LRE) states lead to phases of matter which are stable to

### Morphing Quantum Codes

A morphing procedure is introduced that can be used to generate new quantum codes from existing quantum codes, including the 15-qubit Reed-Muller code, and a family of hybrid color-toric codes is constructed by morphing the color code.

The average energy of the Ising spin glass is known to have no singularity along a special line in the phase diagram although there exists a critical point on the line. This result on the model with

A generic two-dimensional disordered topological superconductor in symmetry class D exhibits rich phenomenology and multiple phases: diffusive thermal metal (DTM), Anderson insulator (AI), and

### Enhanced noise resilience of the surface–Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill code via designed bias

• Computer Science
• 2020
It is shown that Gaussian encodings of individual modes can enhance concatenated codes and improve the noise tolerance of this surface-GKP code with respect to (Gaussian) displacement errors.

• Physics
• 2020
We show that scattering from the boundary of static, higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) can be used to simulate the behavior of (time-periodic) Floquet topological insulators. We consider
