Comparison of memory thresholds for planar qudit geometries
New Journal of Physics
We introduce and analyze a new type of decoding algorithm called General Color Clustering (GCC), based on renormalization group methods, to be used in qudit color codes. The performance of this decoder is analyzed under code capacity depolarizing noise, and is used to obtain the first fault-tolerant threshold estimates for qudit color codes. The proposed decoder is compared with similar decoding schemes for qudit surface codes as well as the current leading qubit decoders for both sets of…
We introduce and analyze a new type of decoding algorithm called General Color Clustering (GCC), based on renormalization group methods, to be used in qudit color codes. The performance of this decoder is analyzed under code capacity depolarizing noise, and is used to obtain the first fault-tolerant threshold estimates for qudit color codes. The proposed decoder is compared with similar decoding schemes for qudit surface codes as well as the current leading qubit decoders for both sets of codes. We find that, as with surface codes, clustering performs sub-optimally for qubit color codes, giving a threshold of 5.6% compared to the 8.0% obtained through surface projection decoding methods. However, the threshold rate increases by up to 112% for large qudit dimensions, plateauing around 11.9%. All the analysis is performed using QTop, a new open-source software for simulating and visualizing topological quantum error correcting codes.

QTop is an open-source python module for simulation and visualization of topological quantum codes. QTop is object-oriented and easy to read, facilitating the addition and assessment of new topological computing architectures, as well as the development of novel decoders.
QTop allows for the simulation of topologies with arbitrary code depth, qudit dimension, and error models. Currently, QTop features Kitaev quantum double models, as well as color codes in 3-regular planar tilings.

QTop allows for the simulation of topologies with arbitrary code depth, qudit dimension, and error models. Currently, QTop features Kitaev quantum double models, as well as color codes in 3-regular planar tilings. In the future, I hope to add 3-dimensional color codes, gauge color codes, and more exotic topological systems.
Special thanks to Vlad Gheorghiu for his help with plotting, and Tomas Jochym-O'Connor for help implementing DSP and GCC decoders.

Silver Medal Winner, University Physics Competition
5th Annual University Physics Competition
My team of 3 students competed against hundreds of teams from colleges and universities all over the world in The University Physics Competition. Over the period of 48 hours, we analyzed the problem of finding stable orbits for circumbinary planets. Our final product, a formal paper, won us silver medal recognition in the competition.
