Description
CSS stabilizer code constructed from a CSS code and a classical code using a distance-balancing procedure based on a generalized homological product. The initial code is said to be unbalanced, i.e., tailored to noise biased toward either bit- or phase-flip errors, and the procedure can result in a code that is treats both types of errors on a more equal footing. The original distance-balancing procedure [1], later generalized in Ref. [2], can yield QLDPC codes; see Thm. 1 in Ref. [1].

- Balanced product code — Distance balancing is used to form balanced-product subsystem codes [3].
- Fiber-bundle code — Fiber-bundle code constructions use distance balancing to increase distance.
- Ramanujan-complex product code — Ramanujan tensor-product constructions use distance balancing to increase distance.
