Abstract

Abstract : Solving for quantum error correction remains one of the key challenges of quantum computing. Traditional decoding methods are limited by computing power and data scale, which restrict the decoding efficiency of color codes. There are many decoding methods that have been suggested to solve this problem. Machine learning is considered one of the most suitable solutions for decoding task of color code. We project the color code onto the surface code, use the deep Q network to iteratively train the decoding process of the color code and obtain the relationship between the inversion error rate and the logical error rate of the trained model and the performance of error correction. Our results show that through unsupervised learning, when iterative training is at least 300 times, a self-trained model can improve the error correction accuracy to 96.5%, and the error correction speed is about 13.8% higher than that of the traditional algorithm. We numerically show that our decoding method can achieve a fast prediction speed after training and a better error correction threshold.
