SQUAB
A Fast Benchmarking Software
for Surface Quantum Computing Architectures


The architecture considered in this work is based on Kitaev's codes and their generalizations: Our software allows us to simulate the performance of any code of the family of generalized surface codes which encompasses Kitaev's codes and its 2 generalizations by Freedman and Meyer and by Bravyi and Kitaev.

Other strategies to benchmark surface codes architectures are proposed here: These methods, which are generally more costful, could be used to run more precise tests on a promising canditate selected with the help of our software.
