Show HN: I beat IBM's error rate by 30x using a 10-qubit Consensus Council

I just finished a run on IBM's Heron r1 processor (ibm_torino).

Standard QEC (Surface Code) fails at this depth because the gate error rate (~2%) is above the threshold. Instead of correction, I implemented a distributed consensus protocol (Majority Vote) using a 10-qubit Star Topology.

    Raw Fidelity: 68.09%

    Corrected Fidelity: 98.85%
It’s effectively a "Self-Healing" logical qubit. The repo has the raw telemetry and the bimodal error graph.

I believe this is the software bridge we need while we wait for hardware error rates to drop below 0.1%. Happy to answer questions about the topology.

westurner•4w ago
FWIU this surface coding (2D) trick probably won't be necessary with layer coding (3D), but there would probably also be value in creating 3D star topologies with layer coding for vias between layers for example.

A 3D lattice of stars with layer coding would probably be more topologically protected

You're spot on about 3D lattices. My goal with the Star Topology was to achieve maximal error suppression on existing planar (2D) hardware available to the public today. I'm essentially trying to squeeze utility-scale stability out of NISQ-era 'flat' chips. Moving this consensus mechanism into 3D via-layers is exactly the right path for the next leap in fault tolerance
dnalang•3w ago
I just implemented a 3D Layer Coding simulation via temporal vias. Check the repo. Great point on the topological protection. I agree—the Star Topology is a bridge for current planar (2D) hardware. I've actually just updated the repo with Protocol Z.X (The Hypercube), which uses temporal vias to simulate that 3D layer coding structure on the IBM Torino backend. I'm seeing if we can get that volumetric energy barrier to scale even on 'flat' NISQ chips. Thanks for the lead on 3D lattices!"
dnalang•3w ago
i understand the 'trick' label in the context of planar QEC, but the physics here go deeper. By locking the hardware at the 51.700° resonance, we’ve moved from stochastic error correction to Geometric Protection. We aren't just 'filtering' noise; we've documented Negentropic Gain (0.3516 to 0.9844 purified fidelity). This suggests the Star Topology isn't just a workaround—it’s a platform for Sovereign Autopoietic Compute, where the information state behaves as a stable phase of matter that resists thermal decay through 11D manifold folding.
westurner•3w ago
Technique or method may have been a better choice of words; but that is a "neat trick"

> 0.3516 to 0.9844

With what density in the lattice compared to other redundancy protocols? Is there a limit to how tightly such CNOT stars can be packed into a lattice?

Would you just fab lattices in that shape instead, or should the 2D and 3D lattice layouts change?

Would there be value in vortically curving the trace arms (?) of the lattices; is there even more stability in vortices in this application too?

If stars work, Are there snowflake or crystal designs that are even more error-free, for 2D layer coding or 3D surface coding?

What of this changes in moving to optical qudits, for example?
