1Reliability
If traditional decoding algorithms are used for quantum error correction, then decoding accuracy can be maintained, but decoding time becomes too long to meet real-time requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the error syndrome data into multiple blocks and processes them in parallel through separate neural network branches. This segmentation allows the decoding task to be distributed across multiple processing units simultaneously, significantly reducing the overall decoding time while maintaining accurate error correction through the aggregation of parallel processing results.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the sequential decoding process into a parallel processing architecture by introducing spatial dimensionality through multiple neural network branches. Each branch processes different blocks of syndrome data concurrently, converting a time-consuming sequential operation into a spatially distributed parallel operation that achieves real-time performance.
2Productivity
If parallel processing is implemented to reduce decoding time, then real-time error correction is achieved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs multiple neural network branches that share the same architectural structure and processing logic. Each branch is a universal template that can process different blocks of syndrome data through parallel instantiation. This multi-functionality approach allows the system to achieve high decoding speed through parallel processing while managing complexity by reusing the same proven neural network design across all branches.

AI summary
This application discloses a neural network-based QEC decoding method. The method includes: obtaining error syndrome information of a quantum circuit; performing block feature extraction on the error syndrome information by using a neural network decoder, to obtain feature information; and performing fusion decoding processing on the feature information by using the neural network decoder, to obtain error result information, the error result information being used for determining a data qubit in which an error occurs in the quantum circuit and a corresponding error type. In this application, a block feature extraction manner is used, a quantity of channels of feature information obtained by each feature extraction is reduced, and inputted data of next feature extraction is reduced, which reduces a quantity of feature extraction layers in a neural network decoder. Therefore, a decoding time used by the neural network decoder is reduced, thereby achieving real-time error correction.
