Abstract
Quantum computing, despite its vast potential, is impeded by challenges like decoding and system noise, necessitating effective quantum error correction techniques. Our study investigates these techniques, focusing on their practical application. We introduce QuantoTrace, a cloud-based platform offering Error Correction as a Service (ECaaS). It enhances quantum system reliability by detecting, analysing, and rectifying errors, and implements bit-flip error correction compatible with various quantum technologies. Using 3-qubit and 5-qubit models, we demonstrated its efficacy on quantum simulators and IBM quantum hardware. Remarkably, we achieved 100% error correction accuracy on simulators and significant success rates on IBM hardware: 68.95% for error correction and 86.04% for error detection in 5-qubit systems. However, the Quantum Repetition Code (QRC) showed limitations in handling multiple-qubit errors in 5-qubit systems. These findings highlight the potential of QuantoTrace which is based on Software as a Service principles in enhancing quantum computing reliability towards further research needs in quantum error correction, especially for noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. QuantoTrace aims to simplify quantum error management, making it accessible to a broad user base and facilitating optimized quantum computing strategies.
