Floquet code[1] 

Description

Also called a Hastings-Haah code. Dynamically-generated stabilizer-based code whose logical qubits are generated through a particular sequence of check-operator measurements such that the number of logical qubits is larger than when the code is viewed as a static subsystem stabilizer code.

After each measurement in the sequence, the codespace is a joint\(+1\) eigenspace of an instantaneous stabilizer group (ISG), i.e., a particular stabilizer group corresponding to the measurement. The ISG specifies the state of the system as a Pauli stabilizer state at a particular round of measurement, and it evolves into a (potentially) different ISG depending on the check operators measured in the next step in the sequence. As opposed to subsystem codes, only specific measurement sequences maintain the codespace.

A measurement can be interpreted as causing anyon condensation, thereby mapping the topoligical phase of a given code state into another condensed phase. In this way, measurements cycle logical quantum information between various condensed phases of a parent topological phase [2].

Protection

Protects against single-qubit Pauli noise and check operator measurement errors.

  • Subsystem qubit stabilizer code — This code can be viewed as a subsystem stabilizer code, albeit one with less logical qubits.
  • Monitored random-circuit code — Both Floquet and monitored random circuit codes can have an instantaneous stabilizer group which evolves through unitary evolution and measurements. However, Floquet codewords are generated via a specific sequence of measurements, while random-circuit codes maintain a stabilizer group after any measurement. Floquet codes have the additional capability of detecting errors induced during the measurement process; see Appx. A of Ref. [1].
  • Majorana stabilizer code — Floquet codes are viable candidates for storage in Majorana-qubit devices [3].
  • Spacetime circuit code — Spacetime circuit codes are useful for constructing fault-tolerant encoding and syndrome extraction circuits for Floquet codes.
