QEC in Neutral Atom Quantum Computers
summary
Neutral-atom systems implement rectangular subarray moves and a log-depth sorting network to realize hypergraph-product and quasi-cyclic LDPC codes, using row/column parallel swaps to make arbitrary 1D connectivity in O(log n) layers (examples show ~20 layers for ~50-length blocks). Circuit simulations claim ~99.5% two‑qubit fidelity, note ~0.1% atom transfer loss today, and report order‑of‑magnitude memory savings vs surface code near ~1,000 qubits; single‑ancilla syndrome extraction is fault tolerant and correlated decoding maps to a hypergraph problem with competitive thresholds.
