    Abstract: A fault-tolerant quantum computer using topological codes such as surface codes can have an architecture that reduces the amount of idle volume generated. The architecture can include qubit modules that generate surface code patches for different qubits and a network of interconnections between different qubit modules. The interconnections can include “port” connections that selectably enable coupling of boundaries of surface code patches generated in different qubit modules and/or “quickswap” connections that selectably enable transferring the state of a surface code patch from one qubit module to another. Port and/or quickswap connections can be made between a subset of qubit modules. For instance port connections can connect a given qubit module to other qubit modules within a fixed range. Quickswap connections can provide a log-tree network of direct connections between qubit modules.
