Hexagonal GKP code[1]
Description
Single-mode GKP qudit-into-oscillator code based on the hexagonal lattice. Offers the best error correction against displacement noise in a single mode due to the optimal packing of the underlying lattice.
Realizations
Microwave cavity coupled to superconducting circuits: reduced form of GKP error correction, where displacement error syndromes are measured to one bit of precision using an ancillary transmon [2].
Notes
Hexagonal GKP codes were obtained after iterative numerical optimization of encoding and recovery against photon loss, starting with Haar-random states [3].
