Abstract
Methods and systems for performing a surface code error detection cycle. In one aspect, a method includes initializing and applying Hadamard gates to multiple measurement qubits; performing entangling operations on a first set of paired qubits, wherein each pair comprises a measurement qubit coupled to a neighboring data qubit in a first direction; performing entangling operations on a second set of paired qubits, wherein each pair comprises a measurement qubit coupled to a neighboring data qubit in a second or third direction, the second and third direction being perpendicular to the first direction, the second direction being opposite to the third direction; performing entangling operations on a third set of paired qubits, wherein each pair comprises a measurement qubit coupled to a neighboring data qubit in a fourth direction, the fourth direction being opposite to the first direction; applying Hadamard gates to the measurement qubits; and measuring the measurement qubits.
