Gauss' law code[1,2] 

Description

An \([m+Dm,Dm,3]\) linear binary code for \(m\geq 3^D\), defined by the Gauss' law constraint of a \(D\)-dimensional fermionic \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) gauge theory [2; Thm. 1]. The code can be re-phrased as a distance-one stabilizer code whose stabilizers consist of gauge-group elements. It can be concatenated to form a stabilizer code for fault-tolerant quantum simulation of the underlying gauge theory [1,2].
