In my talk, I discuss two complementary implementations of parity detection both realized in superconducting circuits. First, we measure the parity of the photon number of propagating radiation fields and thereby herald itinerant Schrödinger cat states [1]. Second, we perform ancilla-based parity detection in multi-qubit systems to implement the smallest viable instance of the surface code capable of detecting any single error [2].Both experiments crucially rely on recent progress in performing high-fidelity, fast, and qubit-selective readout [3], and highlight the great potential of superconducting circuits for quantum information science.
