Analog surface code[1] 

Description

Also called a continuous-variable (CV) surface code. An analog CSS version of the Kitaev surface code.

Decoding

Shift-based decoder [2].

Notes

See [3; Sec. III.C2] for an exposition.

  • Modular-qudit surface code — The analog surface code realizes a straightforward extension of the modular-qudit surface code to infinite local dimension, \(q\to\infty\). There are two types of anyons, \(e\) and \(m\), with each type being valued in \(U(1)\) as opposed to \(\mathbb{Z}_q\) for the qudit surface code.
  • Abelian topological code — The analog surface code realizes a straightforward extension of the modular-qudit surface code to infinite local dimension, \(q\to\infty\). There are two types of anyons, \(e\) and \(m\), with each type being valued in \(U(1)\) as opposed to \(\mathbb{Z}_q\) for the qudit surface code.
