Evan Peters @e6peters.bsky.social · 09/06/2025this technique also works for surface code memory experiments, where training on data with 10x error rates is optimal (but 20x higher is still better than data sampled from the device at its true error rate and MWPM!). The optimal (weirdly) corresponds with when MWPM breaks down: 100
Evan Peters @e6peters.bsky.social · 09/06/2025This behavior holds for repetition codes (across hyperparameters, initializations, architectures), which the theory predicts: 100
Evan Peters @e6peters.bsky.social · 09/06/2025I put out a preprint on machine learning for QEC decoders with some theory about importance sampling for decoding. Takeaway: You can robustly improve ML decoder performance by training on data generated with higher device error rates, sometimes 10x higher! arxiv.org/abs/2505.22741 161

This now means that we can no longer spend on *two* of my major grants. Several of my group members will now graduate earlier than expected, I am looking into being a consultant for the summer, and students will do internships 35412

So I hope some will consider participating, whether by asking or answering questions or just giving some upvotes. 2101
