Group GKP code[1]
Description
Group-based quantum code whose construction is based on nested subgroups \(H\subset K \subset G\). Logical subspace is spanned by basis states that are equal superpositions of elements of cosets of \(H\) in \(K\), and can be finite- or infinite-dimensional.
The group GKP code was originally formulated as an extension of the GKP code construction, and has turned out to encompass a wide variety of codes, tabulated in Table I.
Space | \(G\) | \(H\) | Related code |
|---|---|---|---|
\(n\) qubits | \(\mathbb{Z}_2^n\) | \(\mathbb{Z}_2^m\) | qubit CSS |
\(n\) modular qudits | \(\mathbb{Z}_q^n\) | \(\mathbb{Z}_q^m\) | modular-qudit CSS |
\(n\) modes | \( \mathbb{R}^n \) | \( \mathbb{R}^m \) | analog stabilizer |
\(n\) modes | \( \mathbb{R}^n \) | \( \mathbb{Z}^n \) | multimode GKP |
\(n\) modes | \( \mathbb{R}^n \) | \( \mathbb{Z}^{m<n} \) | GKP-stabilizer |
planar rotor | \(U(1)\) | \(\mathbb{Z}_n\) | rotor GKP |
rigid body | \(SO(3)\) | point group | molecular |

Parents
- Group-based quantum code
- Stabilizer code — Group GKP codes are stabilized by \(X\)-type Pauli matrices representing \(H\) and all \(Z\)-type operators that are constant on \(K\).
Children
- Molecular code
- Quantum-double code — Quantum-double models admit stabilizer-like \(X\)- and \(Z\)-type operators [4], and the codes can be formulated as group GKP codes.
Cousins
- Bosonic stabilizer code — The group-GKP construction encompasses all bosonic CSS codes. A singlemode qubit GKP code corresponds to the \(2\mathbb{Z}\subset\mathbb{Z}\subset\mathbb{R}\) group construction, and multimode GKP codes can be similarly described. An \([[n,k,d]]_{\mathbb{R}}\) analog stabilizer code corresponds to the \(\mathbb{R}^{ k_1} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^{ k_2} \subset \mathbb{R}^{n}\) group construction, where \(k=k_2/k_1\). GKP stabilizer codes for \(n\) modes correspond to subgroups \(\mathbb{Z}^m\) for \(m<n\).
- Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) stabilizer code — An \(n\)-qubit CSS code corresponds to the \(C_1^\perp \subseteq C_2 \subset \mathbb{Z}_2^{n}\) group construction.
- Modular-qudit CSS code — An \(n\) modular-qubit CSS code corresponds to the \(\mathbb{Z}_q^{k_1} \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_q^{k_2} \subset \mathbb{Z}_q^{n}\) group construction, where \(k=k_2/k_1\).
- Rotor GKP code — Rotor GKP codes correspond to the \(\mathbb{Z}_{k_1} \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_{k_2} \subset U(1)\) group construction, where \(k=k_2/k_1\).
- Linear code over \(G\)
- Covariant code — Group-GKP codes corresponding to the \(G^{k_1} \subseteq G^{k_2} \subset G^{n}\) group construction admit \(X\)-type transversal Pauli gates that represent the group \(G\), and are thus \(G\)-covariant [2].
