Simulating non-computational errors just got faster⚡️
Noncomputational errors pose a significant challenge for quantum error correction, are hard to simulate and account for during decoding. We’ve released Deltakit-Stim to fix this.

😔 Missed the #APSMarch Meeting last month? We've got you covered!
Our team gave their insights into the event, including:
🟢 The industry's first end-to-end real-time #QEC demo
🟢 Why latency is now the defining bottleneck
🟢 Our partner integrations and plans

On #WorldQuantumDay, Joan explained why the decoder is the beating heart of #QuantumErrorCorrection 💓
The blog post explores why real-time decoding matters, Riverlane’s approach to adaptive decoding, and NVIDIA’s latest "Ising" model (announced yesterday)

What's changed at Riverlane in the last year? We're grown faster, gone further and shipped bigger. Here are some highlights...
We grew our team! We welcomed 71 new staff across our UK, US and Delft offices.
Hello Delft! Led by Professor Barbara Terhal, our Delft office opened in December 2025 and is focused on applying AI/ML to advance quantum error correction.
There were lots more exciting milestones. April 2025: Joined the DARPA QBI and UK Quantum Missions. June 2025: Our transversal logic paper advances research on AMOs. September 2025: Deploy Deltaflow at Oak Ridge National Lab + launch our Deltakit SDK. December 2025: We unveil the world’s first hardware decoder. March 2026: Launch the Riverlane QEC Technology Roadmap. April 2026: Deltaflow achieves 10x faster latency than Google
🎉 Happy #WorldQuantumDay! Today, we celebrate the science driving the next computing revolution and reflect on our highlights from an incredible year at Riverlane👇
If you want to help make utility-scale #quantumcomputing possible, we’re hiring: www.riverlane.com/jobs
New results! We ran the #Google Willow dataset (1M rounds of continuous QEC) through our #QEC stack & hit:
⚡Mean latency 16.32 µs (🎯 20 µs)
⚡Up to 10× faster processing v Google's published numbers
⚡Consistent, stable performance across every round

#QuantumErrorCorrection is hard, but a softer approach can help!
Instead of relying on 0/1 outcomes, soft decoders use rich analogue readout data to better judge when a qubit measurement is uncertain, leading to stronger error suppression with fewer qubits

We should also thank the team for this exceptional #quantum cake! More details in the blog post below 👇🍰😋

Thoughts?
Follow-up expts from other groups (see Fig 4h of a recent Nature article) show results consistent with exploiting mobility-like effects in practice
Congrats to authors J Camps, O Crawford, G Gehér, A Gramolin, M Stafford, @marklt.bsky.social + thanks to Fujitsu!
www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵4/4
This is, to our knowledge, the 1st paper to identify and characterise leakage mobility as an LRU. We compared mobility vs. other LRUs using fully quantum qutrit simulations on Fujitsu’s 39‑qubit simulator (Also: 🥈 in the Fujitsu Quantum Simulator Challenge!)
🧵3/4 www.fujitsu.com/global/about...
🪣Leakage moves qubits out of the computational space (|0⟩, |1⟩ → |2⟩). Long-lived leakage can destroy performance even with leakage-aware decoders. LRUs are needed to regularly remove leakage; mobility can serve that role.
Read our non-tech summary: www.riverlane.com/press-releas...
🧵2/4
👏We're excited to share our new paper showing that leakage mobility in superconducting qubits can itself act as a leakage-reduction unit (LRU) - i.e., moving leaked population so it can be flushed away: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
🧵1/4
Here’s why it matters…
🥳Excited to share our new paper: "Minimum Weight Decoding in the Colour Code is NP‑hard"
We prove there's no algorithm to find the best way to correct errors in reasonable time for the colour code
So, let’s focus on heuristic/approx algorithms: scirate.com/arxiv/2603.0... @marklt.bsky.social
This new feature tackles the challenge of "noisy" quantum data, providing robust, confident insights into your system's performance

💰Prioritise hardware improvements: identify the main error sources + understand how best to improve your hardware to reduce your error rates
💡Accelerate #QEC research: error budgeting offers a clear path to design more resilient codes + tailoring them to your specific hardware characteristics🧵3/4
Error budgeting transforms QEC optimisation from guesswork into a data-driven strategy, allowing you to:
🔬Identify primary error sources: you can pinpoint which physical error mechanisms (like gate errors, idle noise, or measurement errors) are holding back your #quantumcomputer 🧵2/4
🚀 Stop guessing, start optimising!
Improving #QEC performance can be like searching for a needle in a haystack, blindfolded! But what if you could ID your chip's performance bottlenecks?
Our OS Deltakit SDK does that with its NEW feature: Error budgeting in QEC! deltakit.riverlane.xn--com1-nf24c/4
🎉 It's publication day! 🎉
Congrats to the team for a new @prxquantum.bsky.social paper where their 'ghost protocol' speeds up QEC cycle speeds 10x for AMO qubits 👻
