Group-based quantum code
This code defines the Group Kingdom
Description
Encodes a logical Hilbert space, finite- or infinite-dimensional, into a physical Hilbert space of \(\ell^2\)-normalizable functions on a second-countable unimodular group. For \(K\)-dimensional logical subspace and for groups \(G^{n}\), can be denoted as \(((n,K))_G\). When the logical subspace is the Hilbert space of \(\ell^2\)-normalizable functions on \(G^{ k}\), can be denoted as \([[n,k]]_G\). Ideal codewords may not be normalizable, depending on whether \(G\) is continuous and/or noncompact, so approximate versions have to be constructed in practice.

- Bosonic code — Group quantum codes whose physical spaces are constructed using the group of the reals \(\mathbb{R}\) under addition are bosonic codes.
- Modular-qudit code — Group quantum codes whose physical spaces are constructed using modular-integer groups \(\mathbb{Z}_q\) are modular-qudit codes.
- Galois-qudit code — A Galois qudit for \(q=p^m\) can be decomposed into a Kronecker product of \(m\) modular qudits [1]; see Sec. 5.3 of Ref. [2]. Interpreted this way, Galois-qudit codes are group quantum codes whose physical spaces are constructed using Galois fields \(GF(q)\) as groups.
