Fracton code

Description

A code whose codewords make up the ground-state space of a fracton-phase Hamiltonian.

  • Haah cubic code — Haah cubic codes are the first examples of Type-II fracton phases [1].

Cousins

  • Topological code — Fracton phases can be understood as topological defect networks, meaning that they can be described in the language of topological quantum field theory [2].
  • Groupoid toric code — Some groupiod toric code models admit fracton-like features such as extensive ground-state degeneracy and excitations with restricted mobility.
  • Translationally invariant stabilizer code — Translationally-invariant stabilizer codes can realize fracton orders. Conversely, fracton codes need not be translationally invariant, and can realize multiple phases on one lattice.
  • XZZX surface code — Subsystem symmetries play a role in finite-bias decoders for both codes [3].
