Fusion-based quantum computing (FBQC) code[1]
Description
Code whose codewords are resource states used in an FBQC scheme. Related to a cluster state via Hadamard transformations.
FBQC is a fault tolerant way to produce fusion networks, or large entangled resource states starting from small constant-sized entangled resource states along with destructive measurements called fusions. These large states can be produced asychronously in the fusion framework and can be used as resources, as in measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC), or as logical states of topological codes. The difference from ordinary MBQC is that error-correction two-qubit measurements are performed, which requires a foliation with more qubits. The use of two-qubit measurements makes FBQC more compatible with photonic platforms.

Parent
- Qubit stabilizer code — The resource states in FBQC are small stabilizer states, and after fusion measurements, the outputs are stabilizers (conditioned on measurement outcomes).
Cousins
- Topological code — Arbitrary topological codes can be created using FBQC, as can topological features such as defects and boundaries, by modifying fusion measurements or adding single qubit measurements.
- Dual-rail quantum code — FBQC resource states are concatenated with dual-rail codes to increase loss detection.
- Dynamically-generated QECC — Building a fusion network is done using a measurement-based dynamical process.
- Cluster-state code — FBQC and MBQC are both computational models in which computation is done by measuring resource states (which are qubit stabilizer states). The difference from ordinary MBQC is that error-correction two-qubit measurements are performed, which requires a foliation with more qubits but one which can be built by fusing smaller modules.
