Simulating the performance of a distance-3 surface code in a linear ion trap

We explore the feasibility of implementing a small surface code with 9 data qubits and 8 ancilla qubits, commonly referred to as surface-17, using a linear chain of ^171 Yb ^+ ions. Two-qubit gates can be performed between any two ions in the chain with gate time increasing linearly with ion distanc...
