Category-based quantum code

Root code for the Category Kingdom

Description

Encodes a finite-dimensional logical Hilbert space into a physical Hilbert space associated with a finite category. Codes on modular fusion categories are often associated with a particular topological quantum field theory (TQFT), as the data of such theories is described by such categories.

Category quantum codes whose physical spaces are constructed using the group \(GF(q)\) as the category are Galois-qudit codes. More general versions of such qudits can be valued in a Galois ring [2], over which there also exists a Fourier transform [3].
