Yet the limitation of the quantum computing platforms in terms of noise level and available physical qubit count persists, which greatly hinders the development of scalable quantum computing systems. In this paper, we present analytical estimates of logical error rates of advanced QEC codes across leading hardware platforms and distributed quantum computing systems using a simple but unified framework. The analysis captures two dominant contributors to logical error: code structure and two-qubit gate overhead. The framework provides a fast estimate of logical error rates and identification of dominating factors in different hardware platforms, such as circuit volume, routing overhead, inter-QPU operations, or asymmetric noise protection. We show that several qualitative trends observed in larger-scale simulations can be reproduced and interpreted analytically within this framework. We further demonstrate that the framework can be used to find the sweet spot design region of distributed QEC, which is critical for the design of distributed quantum computing systems.  \nI. INTRODUCTION  \nFault tolerance is essential for building large-scale quantum computing (QC) systems, as persistent physical noise remains a major obstacle. Efficient quantum error correction (QEC) is key to achieving fault tolerance once quantum hardware reaches sufficiently low physical error rates. However, since the number of high-quality physical qubits available within a single quantum processing unit (QPU) remains limited, distributed quantum computing (DQC) has been proposed asa path toward scaling quantum computation and QEC [1], [2] . In this paper, we present an analytical framework for estimating logical error rates of advanced QEC codes based on a simple probabilistic model. It captures two dominant contributors to logical error in a hardware platform: code structure and two-qubit gate overhead. Characterized by its coding rate and distance, a QEC code specifies how many logical qubits are encoded into a given set of physical qubits and the minimum number of physical errors required to induce a logical error. QPUs without fully connected physical qubit topology need extra SWAP gates, which will increase the number of two-qubit gates and thus the logical error rate.  \nThis is vital to the performance of QEC codes in distributed quantum computing systems, where inter-QPU communication links are typically much noisier than intra-QPU operations.  \nInherited from the rich classical error correction code families, there exist a large number of QEC codes. Nevertheless, QEC differs fundamentally from classical error correction due to the unique nature of quantum information and noise;  \nquantum states are continuous, cannot be copied due to the no-cloning theorem (making repetition codes much harder to implement), and collapse under direct measurement (requiring ancillas to extract information) . Furthermore, unlike binary classical errors, which are typically modeled as bit flips, quantum errors include both bit flip and phase flip components, as well as their combinations and coherent superpositions. Thus, QEC must protect quantum information indirectly by encoding a logical qubit into an entangled state of many physical qubits and extracting error information and conducting correction through syndrome measurements and decoding without disturbing the encoded state [3], [4], [5], [6] .  \nThe performance of QEC codes is highly dependent on the underlying hardware platforms and noise models, all have distinct physical error rates, gate fidelity, and physical qubit connectivity characteristics. The vast QEC code design space makes it difficult to compare differ","cbCaivI40hmPXXEB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivI40hmPXXEB","pdf",839521,3,1,13,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Fault tolerance and the need for QEC\n## Differences between quantum and classical error correction\n## Hardware dependence and limitations of full-stack simulation\n## A lightweight analytical framework for logical error estimation\n## Key contributions and feasible-region analysis","[{\"question\":\"Why is fault tolerance essential for large-scale quantum computing?\",\"answer\":\"Persistent physical noise is a major obstacle when scaling quantum systems.
