Description
Constructed using a variation of the stabilizer formalism designed to utilize pre-shared entanglement between sender and receiver. A code is typically denoted as \([[n,k;e]]\) or \([[n,k,d;e]]\), where \(d\) is the distance of the underlying non-EA \([[n,k,d]]\) code, and \(e\) is the number of required pre-shared maximally entangled Bell states (ebits). While other entangled states can be used, there is always a choice a generators such that the Bell state suffices while still using the fewest ebits.
An \([[n,k+e;e]]\) EA stabilizer code can be constructed from an ordinary \([[n,k]]\) stabilizer code with check matrix \(H=(A|B)\), where the required number of ebits is \(e = \text{rank}(AB^T+BA^T)\) [3].
Rate
Asymptotically good EA qubit stabilizer codes exist [4].
Encoding
Fault-tolerant encodes utilizing pre-shared entanglement [5].
Decoding
Optical implementation of a minimal code using hyper-entangled states [6].
Notes
Tables of bounds and examples of EA qubit (and EA qutrit) stabilizer codes for various \(n\) and \(k\), based on algorithms developed in Refs. [7–9], are maintained by M. Grassl at this website.See Ref. [8] for code tables and bounds on performance.See Ref. [10] for related notions.

- Quantum polar code — Quantum polar codes are CSS codes used in an entanglement generation scheme that generally requires entanglement assistance. They require assistance only to determine positions to store information which optimally protect against both bit and phase noise. Without this assistance, they are just CSS codes constructed out of polar codes. A variant of quantum polar codes exists that does not require entanglement assistance [11].
Cousins
- Qubit stabilizer code — EA qubit stabilizer codes utilize additional ancillary qubits in a pre-shared entangled state, but reduce to qubit stabilizer codes when said qubits are interpreted as noiseless physical qubits. Qubit stabilizer codes can be used to obtain shortened EA qubit stabilizer codes [12].
- Hybrid stabilizer code — EA hybrid stabilizer codes can be defined [13].
- Linear binary code — Any linear binary code can be used to construct an EA qubit stabilizer code [1,2,4].
- Linear \(q\)-ary code — Any linear quaternary linear code can be used to construct an EA qubit stabilizer code [2].
- Qubit CSS code — As opposed to CSS codes, EA qubit stabilizer codes can be constructed from any linear binary code.
- Hybrid qudit-oscillator code — A minimal EA qubit stabilizer code has been realized in using hyper-entangled states [6].
- \([[7,1,3]]\) Steane code — The Steane code is globally equivalent to a \([[6,1,3;1]]\) code, which is the smallest EA CSS code with that distance [14].
- Quantum Reed-Muller code — EA versions of quantum RM codes and their quantum tensor-product variants can be constructed [15].
