Preprint

Per-Device Weight Tuning Reduces Logical Error Rate by 31% vs Uniform-Weight MWPM on Superconducting Devices

E. Sorensen, M. Voss · arXiv:2511.XXXXX

We demonstrate that incorporating device-specific gate error rates and T1/T2 times into the MWPM edge weight matrix yields substantial improvements in logical error suppression compared to a uniform-weight baseline. Results are reported for synthetic noise models calibrated from three commercial superconducting processors at code distances d=5 and d=7.

Magic State Distillation Resource Overhead Under Realistic Noise Constraints

E. Sorensen, J. Okafor · arXiv:2409.XXXXX

Analysis of factory count and qubit overhead for T-gate distillation as a function of physical error rate and code distance. We show that compiler-aware factory scheduling reduces total qubit overhead by 18–24% compared to static factory count estimates, across a range of circuit T-counts from 10 to 10,000 T-gates.
