Description
A mapping between a 2D lattice of qubits and a 2D lattice quadratic Hamiltonian of Majorana modes. This family also includes a super-compact fermionic encoding with a qubit-to-fermion ratio of \(1.25\) [2; Table I].Protection
The original code [1] can be converted via Clifford operations into codes whose distance runs up to \(7\) while preserving the code rate [3].Encoding
Tensor-network realization [4], extended to periodic boundary conditions and sectors of odd fermionic charge [5].Cousins
- Jordan-Wigner transformation code— The 2D bosonization code can be converted into chains of JW-transformed qubits by a linear-depth circuit [2; Fig. 24].
- Kitaev honeycomb code— Embedding each physical qubit into two fermions via the tetron code is useful for exactly solving the Kitaev honeycomb model Hamiltonian [6] and other qubit Hamiltonians on certain graphs [7,8]. It also allows the logical subspace of the Kitaev honeycomb model to be formulated as a joint eigenspace of certain Majorana operators [9; Sec. 4.1], which admit braiding-based gates due to their non-Abelian statistics and which can be used for topological quantum computation. When done in reverse, this embedding can be thought of as a 2D bosonization fermion-into-qubit encoding by converting to a relabeled square lattice and performing single-qubit rotations [1][2; Sec. IV.B].
