\([[12,2,4]]\) carbon code[1]
Description
Twelve-qubit CSS code for which \(H_X\) and \(H_Z\) are equal up to qubit permutations.
Transversal Gates
Two-block CNOT gates are transversal because the code is CSS.Automorphism groups of the underlying classical codes can yield transversal Clifford gates when combined with qubit permutations [2]. In particular, logical Hadamard is realized by a transversal physical Hadamard followed by a qubit permutation, and a logical one-block CNOT is implemented by a qubit permutation [1].
Decoding
Syndrome extraction circuit based on Knill error correction (a.k.a. telecorrection [3]), but using only two code blocks instead of three [1; Fig. 5].
Realizations
Trapped-ion devices: Three rounds of error correction and post-selected fault-tolerant logical Bell-state preparation with logical error rates at least 5 times lower than physical rate on a quantum charge-coupled device (QCCD) [4] by Microsoft and Quantinuum [1].
