Hardware-Aware Compilation and Execution of Bivariate Bicycle Codes on Neutral-Atom Systems
A preprint on arXiv describes hardware-aware compilation and execution of bivariate bicycle quantum error-correcting codes on neutral-atom quantum processors. The work focuses on mapping these codes to the reconfigurable atom arrays and dynamic qubit movement available in neutral-atom systems.

If the compilation method efficiently exploits neutral-atom qubit movement, bivariate bicycle codes could become a practical error-correction path on near-term neutral-atom hardware, reducing overhead relative to surface codes.
Bivariate bicycle codes offer high encoding rates but require long-range connectivity that neutral-atom shuttling can provide; hardware-aware mapping could overcome the connectivity overhead that has made such codes impractical on fixed-grid devices.
