Abstract
A quantum computing system computes soft information quantifying an effect of soft noise on multiple rounds of a syndrome measurement that is output by a quantum measurement circuit. The soft noise arises due to imperfections in a readout device that introduce variability in repeated measurements of ancilla qubits and is distinct from quantum noise arising from bit-flips in data qubits that are indirectly measured by the ancilla qubits. The quantum computing system applying decoding logic to identify fault locations within the quantum measurement circuit based on the computed soft information.
