Ball color code[1]

Description

A color code defined on a \(D\)-dimensional colex. This family includes hypercube color codes (color codes defined on balls constructed from hyperoctahedra) and 3D ball color codes (color codes defined on duals of certain Archimedean solids).

Protection

The hypercube code family has parameters \([[2^D,D,2]]\) [1; Exam. 3]. 3D ball codes on duals of the truncated octahedron, truncated cuboctahedron, and truncated icosidodecahedron have parameters \([[24,11,2]]\), \([[48,23,2]]\), and \([[120,59,2]]\), respectively [1; Exam. 4].

Magic

The 3D ball codes on duals of the truncated octahedron, truncated cuboctahedron, and truncated icosidodecahedron have \(\gamma\) close to one [1].

Transversal Gates

The 3D ball codes on duals of the truncated octahedron, truncated cuboctahedron, and truncated icosidodecahedron have transveral \(CCZ\) gates.

Cousin

  • Polyhedron code— Polytopes dual to the hyperoctahedron, truncated octahedron, truncated cuboctahedron, and truncated icosidodecahedron are used to construct 3D ball color codes.

\([[2^D,D,2]]\) hypercube quantum code
\([[2^D,D,2]]\) hypercube quantum codes can be thought of as small color codes defined on balls constructed from hyperoctahedra [1; Exam. 3], or on lattices with no bulk qubits and cubic boundaries [2,3].
\([[2m,2m-2,2]]\) error-detecting code
The \([[2m,2m-2,2]]\) error-detecting code is a ball color code [1; Sec. III.A].
