Gauge product launch, blog post on errors, and podcast links


Hi everyone,

We have several new things to share this month.

We launched Gauge, a Python package that computes the optimal error threshold for any quantum error correcting code and noise model by mapping the decoding problem to a statistical mechanical spin model. You can read about the product here.

Our new blog post explains the different kinds of errors that can happen inside a quantum computer: Not all errors are equal.

Also QC Design’s CEO Ish Dhand was recently on the Blonde and Quantum podcast. Here are a few moments that might be interesting to practitioners:

  • the ​talent bottleneck in fault tolerance (3:04)
  • the EDA analogy and why quantum is at that inflection point now (4:48)
  • a ​map of where different error correction companies sit in the stack (17:56)

Until next month,

The QC Design team

Hi everyone, We have a couple of new things to share this month. If you'd like to learn more about Plaquette, our FTQC simulation software suite, check out our new product page here. We also published a new post on how to read Surface Code diagrams, like these ones: If you've ever wondered what those colorful grids and symbols mean, or you'd just like a refresher, read about it here! Until next month, The QC Design team

Schematic of shuttling errors.

Hi everyone, We have a couple of new items to share with the QC Design practitioner community. We've launched a new mini-series called "Simulate with Plaquette" where we share our favourite Plaquette features. Check out our first post: Simulating shuttling errors. We’ve also published a companion post to accompany the first carousel in our fault tolerance crash course series: The quest for logical qubits. Enjoy! Until next month, The QC Design team

Hi there, Welcome to the QC Design practitioners mailing list. You’ll receive occasional emails from us when we have meaningful software updates or new technical content related to fault-tolerant quantum computing. If you’d like a starting point, here are two posts that may be of interest: Design Software For Large-scale Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing How Plaquette Works in Practice Or check out our Carousel Crash Course on Fault Tolerance. Thanks for joining, The QC Design team
