QECirc: A Community-Driven, FAIR Library of Quantum Error Correction Circuits
Abstract
Quantum error correction (QEC) underpins fault-tolerant quantum computing, but the circuits that realize QEC codes (encoders, logical state-preparation and gate routines, and syndrome-extraction schedules) are scattered across papers and one-off repositories in incompatible formats, often documented too sparsely to reconstruct or reuse. We present QECirc (https://qecirc.com/), a community-driven, open library that makes QEC circuits Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). Each entry links to its underlying code, ships in Stim and OpenQASM with interactive visualizations, and is checked for correctness before publication. In short, where a catalog such as the Error Correction Zoo describes the codes, QECirc provides the concrete circuits that realize them.
