Training neural belief-propagation decoders for quantum error-correcting codes

Two researchers at Université de Sherbrooke, in Canada, have recently developed and trained neural belief-propagation (BP) decoders for quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Their study, outlined in a paper published in Physical Review Letters, suggests that training can enhance the performance of BP decoders significantly, helping to solve issues that are commonly associated with their application in quantum research.
