Golden code[1]

Description

Variant of the Guth-Lubotzky hyperbolic surface code that uses regular tessellations of 4-dimensional hyperbolic space.

Protection

Nonvanishing rate and asymptotic distance lower bounded by \(n^0.1\).

Rate

Nonvanishing rate and asymptotic distance lower bounded by \(n^0.1\). However, the smallest number of physical qubits in this family is 234,000.
