Bicycle code[1]
Description
A CSS code whose stabilizer generator matrix blocks are \(H_{X}=H_{Z}=(A|A^T)\), where \(A\) is a circulant matrix. The fact that \(A\) commutes with its transpose ensures that the CSS condition is satisfied. Bicycle codes are the first QLDPC codes.
Parents
- Generalized homological-product qubit CSS code
- Generalized bicycle (GB) code — A GB code with whose circulants satistfy \(B = A^T\) reduces to a bicycle code.
Cousin
- Quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) code — Bicycle codes are the first QLDPC codes [1].
