Riverlane invites you to explore the state-of-the-art and upcoming milestones in real-time decoding for fault-tolerant quantum computing. In this workshop, we will discuss the critical bottlenecks facing the field, covering everything from advanced decoder algorithms and data throughput challenges to next-generation classical processing architectures.
Join us to gain practical insights into the hurdles we must overcome to enable real-time fault tolerance in large-scale systems. By bringing together researchers, engineers, and architects, we hope to inspire a collaborative dialogue on the path forward for future quantum computing.

Abstract
Quantum Low-Density Parity-Check (qLDPC) codes can encode dramatically more logical qubits, in the same physical footprint and at comparable logical error-rates, as their 2D topological counterparts like the surface code. Still, their real-world implementation has proven difficult for a variety of reasons, ranging from non-trivial two-qubit gate connectivity requirements to challenging decoder design. We report on a demonstration of multiple high-rate qLDPC code instances on a 40-qubit trapped-ion device. Our demonstration achieves up to 9x better logical error-rates than a comparable implementation on solid-state superconducting qubits and exhibits logical qubit lifetimes in the breakeven regime.

Abstract
For quantum error correction (QEC) of logical qubits, it is necessary to perform error decoding that estimates most-likely errors of physical qubits and measurement based on the syndrome information obtained with ancillary qubits. Since we need to solve a minimum-weight perfect matching (MWPM) problem for error decoding within microsecond-order latency in the case of superconducting qubits, a scalable algorithm and its parallel hardware implementation are required especially for high distance error-correction codes. In this talk, we introduce our research project on QEC as the JST Moonshot Goal 6 project, where we develop an error correction algorithm for a surface code on superconducting qubits and an FPGA-based system for QEC experiments that allows scalable and low-latency execution of the algorithm.
