Groupoid toric code[1]
Description
Extension of the Kitaev surface code from Abelian groups to groupoids, i.e., multi-fusion categories in which every morphism is an isomorphism [2]. Some models admit fracton-like features such as extensive ground-state degeneracy and excitations with restricted mobility. The robustness of these features has not yet been established.Cousin
- Fracton stabilizer code— Some groupiod toric code models admit fracton-like features such as extensive ground-state degeneracy and excitations with restricted mobility.

Groupoid toric-code categories are unitary multi-fusion categories based on matrix algebras [3], so groupoid toric codes can equivalently be formulated as multi-fusion string-net codes.
