Error correction zoo
@theeczoo
Repository and taxonomy of schemes to robustly store and process classical or quantum information. Recent results and highlights.
We are now at 999 codes. What should be our 1000th? If we pick yours, we will feature you in a post about the code. Comment, reply, message, and spread the word.

Clean result on multi-block diagonal transversal gates by @fridaysimon and Shival Dasu that finally cracks open what prodigy Eric Rains was saying before many of us were born. arxiv.org/abs/2507.10519
We mourn the loss of one of the founders of the QEC (Knill-Laflamme) conditions and one of the first to write down the five qubit code (aka the Laflamme code). errorcorrectionzoo.org/c/stab_5_1_3
Raymond Laflamme 1960-2025. A great scientist, renowned for his pioneering contributions to quantum error correction. A great leader, founding director of @QuantumIQC. A great colleague and teacher whose legacy continues to inspire us. uwaterloo.ca/institute-for-…
I've been sitting on this result for some time because it seemed too crazy to be true. I really hope I didn't make any stupid mistakes! arxiv.org/abs/2506.15147 A 🧵 on why I think this is a rather strange result.
The list of accepted talks for the QEC conference is out: qec25.yalepages.org/assets/images/… That will be a super exciting conference. Don't miss it! Our work with Gilles Zémor was accepted for a talk.
IEEE Information Theory Workshop will be in Sydney this year, Sep 29 - Oct 3. Nice opportunity for us complex systems people to engage with the "Information theory and statistics, biology and signal processing" track. Papers due by Apr 18 -- CFP at ieee-itw2025.org/call-for-paper…
Tomorrow I'm giving a zoom talk on magic state cultivation at the Simons quantum Colloquium Apr 8, 10am PST, see simons.berkeley.edu/programs-event… Cultivation is the current culmination of a decade of work ending the reign of T gates as the main cost in fault tolerant quantum computation
Huge congratulations to my amazing student Yeyuan Chen (+Zihan Zhang at OSU advised by Zeyu Guo) for receiving the STOC 2025 Best Student Paper Award! Their monumental result proves explicit Reed-Solomon codes can correct more errors than previously known: arxiv.org/abs/2408.15925
The EC Zoo is not just a repository. It can also be used as a data set to train our artificially intelligent friends! LLMs were tasked to compile zoo entries from papers. They identified hard-to-find information, and hallucinations were easy to catch by humans.
We introduce CURIE, a scientific long-Context Understanding, Reasoning and Information Extraction benchmark to measure the potential of large language models in scientific problem-solving and assisting scientists in realistic workflows. Learn more at goo.gle/4jah5Ds
Slides from Daniel Gottesman's invited talk at the March Meeting, summarizing some latest work on Floquet and more general dynamical codes. cs.umd.edu/~dgottesm/Dyna…
We’re excited to share updates ensuring the long-term sustainability of the EC Zoo. To continue delivering great content and improving your experience, we’re introducing a new subscription-based model. Check out our website for more detailed information!
Blown away by the record-breaking 252 submissions to #QEC25! 🚀 Exceptional quality across theory and experiment—our community keeps raising the bar. Can’t wait to work with the PC to select an outstanding program. This conference is going to be amazing! 🎉
