Popis: We propose a quantum error correction protocol for continuous-variable finite-energy, approximate Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states undergoing small Gaussian random displacement errors, based on the scheme of Glancy and Knill [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 73}, 012325 (2006)]. We show that combining multiple rounds of error-syndrome extraction with Bayesian estimation offers enhanced protection of GKP-encoded qubits over comparible single-round approaches. Furthermore, we show that the expected total displacement error incurred in multiple rounds of error followed by syndrome extraction is bounded by $2\sqrt{\pi}$. By recompiling the syndrome-extraction circuits, we show that all squeezing operations can be subsumed into auxiliary state preparation, reducing them to beamsplitter transformations and quadrature measurements.
Comment: We want to thank Jacob Hastrup for notifying us of an repeated numerical error. We also want to thank Luca Cocconi for his useful comments on our numerical simulations
