Reaction depth of two anticommuting π/8 PPRs parallelized via a bridge qubit in the active-volume architecture

Quantum Computing SE Archived May 17, 2026 ✓ Full text saved

In the active volume architecture ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.15465 ) (Litinski 2022), reaction depth is defined as the number of sequential reactive measurement layers, where a layer is added whenever the pending Pauli correction from a previous reactive measurement anticommutes with the next measurement's basis. I have two anticommuting π/8 PPRs acting on q1 and q2: $$(X_1 \otimes Z_2){\pi/8} \quad \text{and} \quad (X_1 \otimes X_2){\pi/8}$$ I want to parallelize them so they fit into a singl

    Reaction depth of two anticommuting π/8 PPRs parallelized via a bridge qubit in the active-volume architecture Ask Question Asked today Modified today Viewed 6 times 1 In the active volume architecture (https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.15465) (Litinski 2022), reaction depth is defined as the number of sequential reactive measurement layers, where a layer is added whenever the pending Pauli correction from a previous reactive measurement anticommutes with the next measurement's basis. I have two anticommuting π/8 PPRs acting on q1 and q2: ( X 1 ⊗ Z 2 )π/8and( X 1 ⊗ X 2 )π/8 ( 𝑋 1 ⊗ 𝑍 2 ) 𝜋 / 8 and ( 𝑋 1 ⊗ 𝑋 2 ) 𝜋 / 8 I want to parallelize them so they fit into a single logical cycle. Since both PPRs touch q1, true parallelism requires a bridge qubit: I use a Bell pair (|00⟩+|11⟩)/ 2 – √ ( | 00 ⟩ + | 11 ⟩ ) / 2 , with one half acting as a bridge to teleport q1's state to a second location so the two PPMs can be set up concurrently. Each PPR is implemented as a joint Pauli product measurement (PPM) with an auxiliary magic state, followed by a reactive cleanup measurement on the stale magic state. My confusion: By the standard Litinski rule, two anticommuting PPRs in sequence give reaction depth = 2 (each PPR's PPM is in its own reactive layer because the basis depends on the previous outcome). But I'm unsure how the bridge-qubit Bell measurement affects this: Naive view: the Bell measurement has a fixed basis (XX, ZZ), so it doesn't add a reactive layer on its own — reaction depth stays at 2. Alternative view: the pending X-type Pauli correction from PPR_1 anticommutes with the XX component of the Bell measurement basis, so the Bell measurement is itself reactive on PPR_1's outcome — reaction depth becomes 3. Question: What is the correct reaction depth of this parallelized PPR-bridge-PPR construction — 2 or 3? And what is the principled criterion? error-correctionmeasurement-based-qc Share Improve this question Follow asked 1 hour ago next dimension 112 2 bronze badges New contributor Add a comment Know someone who can answer?
