\(U(1)_{2n} \times U(1)_{-2m}\) Chern-Simons GKP code[1]

Description

A non-CSS multimode GKP code defined on a 2D mode lattice that encodes a qudit logical space and whose excitations are characterized by the \(U(1)_{2n} \times U(1)_{-2m}\) Chern-Simons theory. The code can be obtained from the analog surface code by condensing certain anyons [1].

The \(U(1)_{2} \times U(1)_{-4}\) case admits a topological order that is Witt non-trivial, i.e., that does not admit a gapped boundary. This order is not chiral (i.e., chiral central charge is zero) and does not admit a bosonic anyon.
