Also known as Compact encoding.
Description
A fermion-into-qubit code defined on regular tilings with maximum degree 4 whose stabilizers are associated with loops in the tiling. The code outperforms several other encodings in terms of encoding rate [1; Table I]. It has been extended for models with several modes per site [3].
Protection
Some single-qubit errors are detectable, with the rest inducing low-weight fermionic dephasing noise [4].
Parents
- Quantum error-transmuting code (QETC) — The DK code transmutes all single-qubit errors [5].
- Fermion-into-qubit code
Cousins
- XZZX surface code — The DK code encodes fermions into excitations of the Wen plaquette model [6].
- 2D color code — The DK code on several tilings resembles the 2D color code with some vertex qubits removed [7].
