| contents | Surface codes are promising for practical quantum error correction due to their high threshold and experimental feasibility. However, their performance under realistic noise conditions, particularly those involving correlated errors, requires further investigation. In this study, we investigate the impact of correlated errors on the error threshold. In particular, we focus on several distinct types of correlated errors that could potentially arise from next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) coupling in quantum systems. We present the analytical threshold of the surface code under these types of correlated noise, and find that errors correlated along straight lines possess a type of crucial symmetry, resulting in higher thresholds compared to other types of correlated errors. This deepens our insight into the threshold of surface code and hence facilitates a more robust design of quantum circuits with a higher noise threshold. |
