Day 822: Split Operations & Logical State Preparation

Learning Objectives

• •**Define split operations** as the inverse of merge operations
• •**Analyze the measurement** that occurs during split and its effect on states
• •**Prepare logical basis states** $|0_L\rangle$, $|1_L\rangle$, $|+_L\rangle$, $|-_L\rangle$ fault-tolerantly
• •**Design state injection protocols** for arbitrary logical states
• •**Calculate the resource overhead** for state preparation via lattice surgery
• •**Implement split operations** in simulation
