Three-dimensional color code[1]
Description
Three-dimensional version of the color code.
Transversal Gates
Threshold
\(0.46\%\) for 3D codes with clustering decoder [5].\(1.9\%\) for 1D string-like logical operators and \(27.6\%\) for 2D sheet-like operators for 3D codes with noise models using optimal decoding and perfect measurements [5].

Children
- \([[15,1,3]]\) quantum Reed-Muller code — The \([[15,1,3]]\) code is a 3D color code.
- \([[8,3,2]]\) CSS code — The \([[8,3,2]]\) code is the smallest non-trivial 3D color code.
Cousins
- 3D surface code — The 3D color code is equivalent to multiple decoupled copies of the 3D surface code [6–8].
- Dynamical automorphism (DA) code — The parent topological phase of the 3D DA color code is realized by two copies of the 3D color code.
- Two-dimensional color code — Gauge fixing can be used to switch between 2D and 3D color codes, thereby yielding fault-tolerant with constant time overhead using only local quantum operations [9].
- Haah cubic code — The 3D color and cubic code families both include 3D codes that do not admit string-like operators.
