Description
Three-dimensional lattice consisting of all points \((x,y,z)\) whose integer components are either all even or all odd.Protection
The bcc lattice has density \(\Delta=\pi\sqrt{3}/8\approx 0.6802\). It exhibits the thinnest lattice covering [1] in three dimensions. It solves the lattice quantizer problem in three dimensions with \(G_3 = \frac{19}{192\cdot 2^{1/3}}\approx 0.0785\) [2].Cousins
- \(D_3\) face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice— The bcc and fcc lattices are dual to each other.
- Dual lattice— The bcc and fcc lattices are dual to each other.
- Raussendorf-Bravyi-Harrington (RBH) cluster-state code— The RBH code is defined on the bcc lattice.
- Tetrahedral color code— The tetrahedral color code is defined on a lattice of tetrahedra carved out of a suitably colored BCC lattice [3].
