Fractal surface code[1–3] 

Description

Kitaev surface code on a fractal geometry, which is obtained by removing qubits from the surface code on a cubic lattice. A related construction, the fractal product code, is a hypergraph product of two classical codes defined on a Sierpinski carpet graph [1]. The underlying classical codes form classical self-correcting memories [4–6].

Parent

  • Homological code — Fractal surface codes are obtained by removing qubits from the 3D surface code on a cubic lattice.

Cousins

  • 3D surface code — Fractal surface codes are obtained by removing qubits from the 3D surface code on a cubic lattice.
  • Hypergraph product (HGP) code — The fractal product code is a hypergraph product of two classical codes defined on a Sierpinski carpet graph [1].
  • Self-correcting quantum code — The classical codes underlying the fractal product code form classical self-correcting memories [4–6].
