Qubit shuttling may enable quantum computing platforms to reach qubit register sizes needed for effective quantum error correction, but also introduces additional errors that must be evaluated. Researchers used the Surface code and large scale simulations, introducing shuttling errors as an additional error location, to map out a two-dimensional parameter space and extract the threshold.
