| Abstract: | To implement fault-tolerant quantum computation with continuous variables, the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubit has been recognized as an important technological element. We have proposed a method to reduce the required squeezing level to realize large-scale quantum computation with the GKP qubit [Phys. Rev. X 8, 021054 (2018)], harnessing the virtue of analog information in the GKP qubits. In the present work, to reduce the number of qubits required for large-scale quantum computation, we propose the tracking quantum error correction, where the logical-qubit-level quantum error correction is partially substituted by the single-qubit-level quantum error correction. In the proposed method, the analog quantum error correction is utilized to make the performances of the single-qubit-level quantum error correction almost identical to those of the logical-qubit-level quantum error correction in a practical noise level. The numerical results show that the proposed tracking quantum error correction reduces the number of qubits during a quantum error-correction process by the reduction rate {2(n - 1)4(l-1) - n + 1}/(2n x 4(l-1)) for n-cycles of the quantum error-correction process using Knill's C-4/C-6 code with the concatenation level l. Hence, the proposed tracking quantum error correction has great advantage in reducing the required number of physical qubits, and will open a new way to expoloit the advantages of the GKP qubits in practical quantum computation. |
