Conformal-field theory (CFT) code[1,2] 

Description

Approximate code whose codewords lie in the low-energy subspace of a conformal field theory, e.g., the quantum Ising model at its critical point [1,2]. Its encoding is argued to perform source coding (i.e., compression) as well as channel coding (i.e., error correction) [1].

Protection

Code performance is quantified by a lower bound on the entanglement fidelity in terms of the conditional mutual information [1; Eq. (9)]; see also [3; Appx. A]. The coherent information of the combined noise and recover channel can also be perturbatively expanded [2].

Certain CFT codes have indefinite codespace complexity, and their protection depends on the minimum scaling dimension of the underlying CFT [4].

Code Capacity Threshold

Threshold under dephasing depends on the structure of the conformal field theory, with the 1D critical Ising model admitting a finite threshold against certain dephasing noise [2].
