Description
CSS code formulated using the homological product of two chain complexes (see CSS-to-homology correspondence). Stub.
Protection
Given two codes \([[n_a, k_a, d_a, w_a]]\) for \(a\in\{1,2\}\), where \(w_a\) denotes the maximum hamming weight of all rows and columns of \(\partial_a\), the homological product code has parameter \([[n=n_1 n_2, k=k_1 k_2, d\leq d_1 d_2, w\leq w_1+w_2]]\). From this formula, and the fact that a randomly selected boundary operator \(\partial\) yields a CSS code that is good with high probability, we see that the product code has \(k=\Theta(n)\) and \(w=O(\sqrt{n})\) with high probability. The main result in [2] is to show that the product code actually has linear distance with high probability as well. To sum up, it is shown that we have a family of \([[n,k=c_1 n, d=c_2 n, w=c_3 \sqrt{n}]]\) codes given small enough \(c_1,c_2,c_3\).
Gates
Universal set of gates can be obtained by fault-tolerantly mapping between different encoded representations of a given logical state [3].
Decoding
Union-find [4].
Fault Tolerance
Universal set of gates can be obtained by fault-tolerantly mapping between different encoded representations of a given logical state [3].
Parent
- Fiber-bundle code — Fiber-bundle code can be viewed as a homological product code with a twisted product.
Children
- Distance-balanced code — Distance balancing relies on taking homological product of chain complexes corresponding to a classical and a quantum code.
- Hypergraph product code — A homological product of chain complexes corresponding to two classical codes is a hypergraph product code [5].
Cousin
- Random quantum code — Random homological codes are asymptotically good with high probability [1; Thm. 1].
