Gate-Error-Resilient Quantum Steane Codes

An encoderless quantum code is capable of connecting quantum information by replacing the encoder circuit with a fault-tolerant single-qubit gate arrangement. As a further benefit, in contrast to state preparation techniques, our encoderless scheme requires no prior knowledge of the input information, therefore totally unknown states can be encoded fault-tolerantly. Our encoderless quantum code delivers a frame error rate that is three orders of magnitude lower than that of the corresponding scheme relying on a non-fault-tolerant encoder, when the gate error probability is as high as 10−3.
