Sparse Blossom: correcting a million errors per core second with minimum-weight matching by Oscar Higgott, Craig Gidney

“…In this work, we introduce a fast implementation of the minimum-weight perfect matching (MWPM) decoder, the most widely used decoder for several important families of quantum error correcting codes, including surface codes. Our algorithm, which we call sparse blossom, is a variant of the blossom algorithm which directly solves the decoding problem relevant to quantum error correction. …”
