Abstract

With a particular emphasis on fixing fault defects caused by bitflip and depolarizing noise, this study explores the use of RL methods within the framework of quantum error correction. This work investigates the flexibility and independence of RL-trained agents in reducing bitflip mistakes by methodically looking at error rates and qubit lifetimes. Furthermore, we study how the top-performing agents are affected by depolarizing noise and present a strategic "Decoded Surface Code"method for fixing mistakes. The results show how RL works in handling different types of errors on its own, revealing subtle dynamics in the quantum system. Quantum error correction is a rapidly developing area, and this study adds to it by shedding light on how reinforcement learning could improve quantum computing's fault tolerance. The study's findings provide a basis for future research into more robust quantum computing systems and have ramifications for the creation of autonomous error-correcting algorithms. © 2024 IEEE.
