  1. ordered ferromagnet Effects of Depolarization on Topological QubitsHelmut Katzgraber, Texas A&M Research Foundation, DMR 1151387 The inevitable presence of decoherence effects in systems suitable for quantum computation necessitates effective error-correction schemes to protect information from noise. A robust approach to quantum error correction is given via topologically-protected quantum codes. We have computed the stability of the toric code to depolarization by mapping the quantum problem onto a classical disordered eight-vertex Ising model. By studying the stability of the related ferromagnetic phase via large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, we are able to demonstrate an increased error threshold of 18.9(3)% when noise correlations are taken into account. Remarkably, this agrees within error bars with the result for topological color codes. Simulated lattice when studying the depolarizing error channel for color codes.
