Designing Quantum Error Correcting Codes to fit decoders via Reinforcement Learning
We present a reinforcement learning (RL) approach to the co-design of stabilizer sets of Quantum Error Correcting Codes (QECCs) and decoders. We show how to produce a generative model that produces Bivariate Bicycle (BB) codes based on the choice of decoder. Specifically, we fix a decoder architecture and use Proximal Policy Optimisation (PPO) to train an agent over BB codes to maximise decoder performance under a depolarising channel noise model.
