Scalable quantum computing in the presence of large detected-error rates

The theoretically tolerable erasure error rate for scalable quantum computing is shown to be well above 0.1, given standard scalability assumptions. This bound is obtained by implementing computations with generic stabilizer code teleportation steps that combine the necessary operations with error correction. An interesting consequence of the technique is that the only errors that affect the maximum tolerable error rate are storage and Bell measurement errors. If storage errors are negligible, then any detected Bell measurement error below 1/2 is permissible. For practical computation with high detected error rates, the implementation overheads need to be improved.
