Also known as Chamon-Bravyi-Leemhuis-Terhal (CBLT) code.
Description
A foliated type-I fracton non-CSS code defined on a cubic lattice using one weight-eight stabilizer generator acting on the eight vertices of each cube in the lattice [3; Eq. (D38)].
Variants include a CSS model that is expected to have the same excitation structure [4] and a modified Chamon code based on the XYZ product code construction [5].
Rate
The number of logical qubits is \(k = \text{gcd}(a,b,c)\) for a code constructed as a hypergraph product of three repetition codes of length \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\), respectively [2].
Decoding
Repetition-based decoder, based on the three underlying repetition codes and improved by pre-treatment with a probabilistic greedy local algorithm [6].
Code Capacity Threshold
Depolarizing noise: \(4.92\%\) with repetition-based decoder [6].
Parents
- Fracton stabilizer code — The Chamon model is a foliated type-I fracton code and is the first example of a fracton phase [3].
- XYZ product code — The Chamon model code can be obtained from a hypergraph product of three repetition codes [7], but done in a different way than the 3D surface code; see [5; Sec. 3.4].
Cousins
- 3D surface code — The Chamon and 3D surface codes can both be built out of a hypergraph product of three repetition codes; see [5; Sec. 3.4].
- XZZX surface code — The Chamon model code can be obtained from a particular hypergraph product of three repetition codes [7]; see [5; Sec. 3.4]. Using only two repetition codes yields the XZZX code, making that code a 2D analogue of the Chamon code [5; Sec. 2].
