Deterministic Generation of Concatenated Graph Codes from Quantum Emitters by Love A. Pettersson, Anders S. Sørensen, Stefano Paesani

“…Concatenation of a fault-tolerant construction with a code able to efficiently correct loss is a promising approach to achieve this but practical ways to implement code concatenation with photons have been lacking. We propose schemes for generating concatenated graph codes using multiphoton emission from two quantum emitters or a single quantum emitter coupled to a memory—capabilities available in several photonic platforms. …”
