Distributed Union-Find Decoder

This work implements a distributed Union-Find decoder on FPGA, using massively parallel processing units to achieve sub-microsecond decoding time for surface codes. The architecture is designed to scale to larger code distances.

The decoder trades the exact MWPM objective for the lower complexity of Union-Find decoding. See the IEEE QCE 2023 paper and the Helios implementation.
