3D surface code[1,2] 

Description

A variant of the Kitaev surface code on a 3D lattice. The closely related solid code [3] consists of several 3D surface codes stitched together in a way that the distance scales faster than the linear size of the system.

Decoding

Flip decoder and its modification p-flip [4].

Threshold

Phenomenological noise model for the 3D toric code: \(2.90(2)\%\) under BP-OSD decoder [5], \(7.1\%\) under improved BP-OSD [6], and \(2.6\%\) under flip decoder [4]. For 3D surface code: \(3.08(4)\%\) under flip decoder [5].
