Architectural mechanisms of a universal fault-tolerant quantum computer
summary
A neutral‑atom processor uses Rydberg atom arrays in optical tweezers with movable ancillas to implement distance‑5 surface and toric codes, a non‑destructive spin‑to‑position readout (≈99.5% fidelity, ≈0.3% loss), and transversal CNOTs to realize logical gates. Repeated syndrome extraction shows Zeno projection plus decoding suppress errors; experiments sit ≈2× below threshold (target ≈5×), ML decoding gains ~70% vs baseline, optimal ≈3 CNOTs per syndrome, and teleportation‑based processing lets logical evolution be unitary while physical dynamics remain dissipative.
