Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing quantum error correction using an automorphism code related to the honeycomb code. The automorphism code is based on Kramers-Wannier (KW) duality. For embodiments on a hexagonal lattice using three repeated time steps, ? of the pixels are active in a given time steps. In a given time step r, a KW circuit is applied to plaquettes labeled r mod 3, transferring quantum information from the active qubits at the beginning to a new set of active qubits at the end of the time step. Each of the three plaquette types is associated with one stabilizer either given by a product of six Z operators or three X operators. The KW circuit maps the product of X operators to the product of Z operators and vice-versa. The stabilizer group of the superlattice toric code changes every round.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to multi-factor authentication for data security. In some embodiments, a computer system receives, from a user device, a database operation request that specifies a set of query data, where the computer system supports multiple different security levels requiring different subsets of a set of authentication factors supported by a known device of a user of the user device. Various devices may determine current contextual information for the database operation request, where the contextual information indicates the set of query data. In some embodiments, the computer system selects, based on the current contextual information, a security level from the multiple different security levels. In some embodiments, the computer system revokes, based on the selected security level, access privileges of the user for accessing a database corresponding to the database operation request.
