A Syndrome-Extraction-Gadget Family That Unifies Shor-, Steane-, and Kinll-Style Error Correction

Proposed a family of fault-tolerant syndrome extraction gadgets with circuit depths and qubit counts between or equal to those of Shor-, Steane-, and Knill-style gadgets. Currently preparing for publication.

A Review of Syndrome Extraction in Quantum Error Correction

A review of the various techniques for fault-tolerant syndrome extraction: naive syndrome extraction, Shor syndrome extraction, Steane syndrome extraction, Knill syndrome extraction, flag-basted syndrome extraction, hybrid syndrome extraction techniques, measurement-based quantum computing, and fusion-based quantum computing - as they pertain to syndrome extraction. Currently preparing for publication.

Ancilla-Free Preparation of Quantum Error-Correcting Codes

Designed an algorithm that finds, for arbitrary stabilizer codes, ancilla-free encoding circuits with significantly reduced overheads compared to the literature’s most prominent method. This work served as the basis for my undergraduate honours thesis.

Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation

Essay on the threshold theorem and the overhead of fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Avaliable here.

Fusion-Based Foliated Quantum Codes

Proposed an algorithm that generalizes the construction of arbitrary foliated CSS codes by fusing resource states.

Union-Find Decoding on the XZZX Surface Code

Implemented and benchmarked the union-find decoder on the XZZX surface code and proposed a modification to the decoder that could offer improved thresholds.

An Introduction to Quantum Error Correction and Decoding Algorithms

A review of quantum error correction with an emphasis on decoding.

Fault-Tolerant Error Correction Using Optimized Linear Codes

Optimized the number of measurements required for fault-tolerant syndrome extraction on a classical code and numerically simulated the scheme’s performance.
