Move Rotation

This notebook demonstrates moving and rotating the spatial boundary of a logical qubit. Rotating the boundary types of a logical qubit is a crucial operation in lattice surgery. For instance, merging two logical qubits requires their boundary types to be aligned. Therefore, performing such boundary-type rotations is often essential to facilitate seamless lattice merging.

Construction

tqec provides builtin function tqec.gallery.move_rotation to construct it.

from tqec import Basis
from tqec.gallery import move_rotation

graph = move_rotation()
graph.view_as_html()

This operation rotates the orientation of the logical observable through a spatial L-shape junction. As shown below, the correlation surface initially aligns with the Y-axis and finally aligns with X-axis.

correlation_surfaces = graph.find_correlation_surfaces()
graph.view_as_html(
    pop_faces_at_direction="-Y",
    show_correlation_surface=correlation_surfaces[0],
)

Example Circuit

Here we show an example circuit of move rotation with \(d=3\) surface code that is initialized and measured in X basis. You can download the circuit here or view it in Crumble.

from tqec import NoiseModel, compile_block_graph

graph = move_rotation(Basis.X)
compiled_graph = compile_block_graph(graph)
circuit = compiled_graph.generate_stim_circuit(
    k=1, noise_model=NoiseModel.uniform_depolarizing(p=0.001)
)

Simulation

Here we show the simulation results of both X-basis and Z-basis experiments under uniform depolarizing noise model.
