In the quest for fault-tolerant quantum computation using superconducting processors, accurate performance assessment and continuous design optimization stands at the forefront. To facilitate both meticulous simulation and streamlined design optimization, we introduce a multi-level simulation framework that spans both Hamiltonian and quantum error correction levels, and is equipped with the capability to compute gradients efficiently. This toolset aids in design optimization, tailored to specific objectives like quantum memory performance. Within our framework, we investigate the often-neglected spatially correlated unitary errors, highlighting their significant impact on logical error rates. We exemplify our approach through the multi-path coupling scheme of fluxonium qubits.

We investigate the quench dynamics of interacting bosons on a two-leg ladder in presence of a uniform Abelian gauge field. The model hosts a variety of emergent quantum phases, and we focus on the superfluid biased-ladder phase breaking the $Z_{2}$ symmetry of two legs. We observe an asymmetric spreading of vortex current and particle density, i.e., the current behaves particle-like on the right and wave-like on the left, indicating spontaneous breaking of the spatial inversion symmetry. By decreasing the repulsion strength, it is found the particle-like current is more robust than the wave-like one. The evolution of entanglement entropy manifests logarithmic growth with time suggesting many-body localization matters.
