Adaptive Deformation of Color Code in Square Lattices with Defects

Quantum error correction is a crucial technology for fault tolerant quantum computing. On superconducting platforms, hardware defects in large scale quantum processors can disrupt the regular lattice structure of topological codes and impair their error correction capabilities. Although defect adaptive methods for surface codes have been extensively studied, other topological codes such as color codes still lack a systematic framework for handling defects. To address this issue, we propose a universal superstabilizer scheme applicable to data qubit defects in arbitrary stabilizer codes. Based on this scheme, we develop concrete repair methods for isolated defects of both internal data qubits and ancilla qubits in color codes defined on square lattices. Furthermore, for ancilla qubit defects, we present two optimization schemes. One scheme reuses neighboring ancilla qubits, and the other employs iSWAP gates. Unlike conventional approaches that directly disable neighboring data qubits and thus cause resource waste, both of our schemes avoid such waste and consequently achieve a lower logical error rate.Integrating the above techniques, we construct a comprehensive defect adaptive architecture for color codes to handle various defect clusters. We also show that our scheme supports a full transversal Clifford gate set and lattice surgery operations. These results provide a systematic theoretical pathway for deploying robust and low overhead color codes on defective quantum hardware.

PolyQROM: Orthogonal-Polynomial-Based Quantum Reduced-Order Model for Flow Field Analysis

Quantum computing promises exponential acceleration for fluid flow simulations, yet the measurement overhead required to extract flow features from quantum-encoded flow field data fundamentally undermines this advantage--a critical challenge termed the ``output problem''. To address this, we propose an orthogonal-polynomial-based quantum reduced-order model (PolyQROM) that integrates orthogonal polynomial basis transformations with variational quantum circuits (VQCs). PolyQROM employs optimized polynomial-based quantum operations to compress flow field data into low-dimensional representations while preserving essential features, enabling efficient quantum or classical post-processing for tasks like reconstruction and classification. By leveraging the mathematical properties of orthogonal polynomials, the framework enhances circuit expressivity and stabilizes training compared to conventional hardware-efficient VQCs. Numerical experiments demonstrate PolyQROM's effectiveness in reconstructing flow fields with high fidelity and classifying flow patterns with accuracy surpassing classical methods and quantum benchmarks, all while reducing computational complexity and parameter counts. The work bridges quantum simulation outputs with practical fluid analysis, addressing the ``output problem'' through efficient reduced-order modeling tailored for quantum-encoded flow data, offering a scalable pathway to exploit quantum advantages in computational fluid dynamics.
