To introduce the mathematical foundations, algorithm architectures, and reproducibility framework of QECTOR Decoder v3, a multi-backend quantum error correction engine.
Implemented a core decoding engine in Rust with PyO3 Python bindings supporting fifteen distinct decoding backends across CPU and GPU architectures.
Integrated algorithms including Edmonds' blossom minimum-weight perfect matching, event-driven Sparse Blossom, zero-allocation Union Find, and belief propagation with ordered statistics decoding (BP-OSD).
Enforced a strict mathematical invariant of syndrome faithfulness ($Hc \equiv s \pmod 2$) across all backends alongside rigorous property-based and cross-decoder equivalence testing.
Established mathematical proofs for core correctness theorems, including syndrome faithfulness, logical error criteria, and path-flipping faithfulness in matching decoders.
Demonstrated bit-identical decoding outputs between GPU batch acceleration kernels (CUDA and OpenCL) and CPU reference implementations on tested configurations.
Integrated compatibility layers for quantum computing ecosystems, including a PyMatching shim, Sinter decoders, and a Qiskit plugin supported by a seven-tier routing fallback chain.
