ArXi:2510.11593v2 Announce Type: replace-cross For reliable large-scale quantum computation, quantum error correction (QEC) is essential to protect logical information distributed across multiple physical qubits. Taking advantage of recent advances in deep learning, neural network-based decoders have emerged as a promising approach to improve the reliability of QEC. We propose the qubit-centric transformer (QCT), a novel and universal QEC decoder based on a transformer architecture with a qubit-centric attention mechanism.
