Sweep-Decoder-Boundaries

C++ implementation of the sweep decoder for topological quantum codes with and without boundaries. See https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.07247 and https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.10145.

Build instructions

Use CMake to build. During the build process CMake will automatically download googletest and pcg-cpp. Tested on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 & 18.04) and macOS.

Step-by-step instructions

• mkdir build && cd build
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../
• make

To run the tests

• mkdir build && cd build
• cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../
• make
• make test

Usage

• The python script data_generator.py is the entry_point
• Run python data_generator.py --help for information
• See example_script.py for an example of a bigger run

Lattice models

• Interactive models of the L=3 cubic and rhombic-dodecahedral lattices are included in the models directory
• To open the files, use vZome
