Today in QEC on the arXiv: Three papers! Improved surface logical state prep for highly biased noise arxiv.org/abs/2310.17697arxiv.org/abs/2310.17758arxiv.org/abs/2310.17758

Today in QEC on the arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2310.10278 A generalization of QEC, that could be useful in cases where you don't necessarily need or want to correct absolutely everything. Lots of theory here. Much meditation required before a 300 character summary could be attempted!

Today in QEC on the arXiv: a new quantum version of a known decoder for classical LDPC codes arxiv.org/abs/2310.07868 Specifically, it converts errors into erasures for hypergraph product codes

Today in QEC on the arXiv arxiv.org/abs/2310.06917 Define topological codes on non-orientable lattices and you get new, almost transversal, logical gates

Today in QEC on the arXiv: Stop what you are doing everyone. It's a Gottesman paper! arxiv.org/abs/2310.04710 Approximate quantum error correction is a mostly unexplored land, of which we know only a few landmarks. Here they give us a map, and show interesting connections to other areas of physics.
