Latency-Constrained Hardware-Aware Quantum Error Correction Co-Design with Adaptive Confidence-Gated Neural Decoding for the Rotated Surface Code
Real-time decoding is a major bottleneck in scaling quantum error correction (QEC) from noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices to fault-tolerant quantum computing. We present an adaptive confidence-gated decoding framework for the rotated surface code that treats decodin…
