A Bridge-based Compression Algorithm for Topological Quantum Circuits

The topological quantum error correction (TQEC) scheme is promising for scalable and reliable quantum computing. A TQEC circuit can be modeled by a three-dimensional diagram, and the implementation resource of a TQEC circuit is abstracted to its space-time volume. Implementing a quantum algorithm with a reasonable physical qubit number and reasonable computation time is challenging for large-scale...
