We aim to perform large-scale simulations of error-correcting codes for quantum computation. In particular, we wish to test post-selection strategies for high-rate quantum codes (those that very efficiently pack in a large amount of error-corrected qubits into a relatively small number of physical qubits) which will allow us to improve the error rate by orders of magnitude by only rejecting a small fraction of the shots. Our work is highly suitable for high throughput computing because we need to take billions of shots of the simulation, each of which is very cheap; it is not a problem if our jobs are cancelled.
