Fault-Tolerant Quantum LDPC Encoders

Abstract

We propose fault-tolerant encoders for quantum low-density parity check (LDPC) codes. By grouping qubits within a quantum code over contiguous blocks and applying preshared entanglement across these blocks, we show how transversal implementation can be realized. The proposed encoder reduces the error propagation while using multi-qubit gates and is applicable for both entanglement-unassisted and entanglement-assisted quantum LDPC codes.
