Description
A family of \([[n,k,d]]\) CSS codes whose construction is based on two binary linear seed codes \(C_1\) and \(C_2\).
Protection
The hypergraph product has distance \(d=O(\sqrt{n})\). The number of encoded logical qubits is \(k=O(k_1k_2)\) where \(k_1\) and \(k_2\) are the dimensions of the classical seed codes \(C_1\) and \(C_2\).
Transversal Gates
Hadamard (up to logical SWAP gates) and control-\(Z\) on all logical qubits [3].
Gates
Code deformation techniques yield Clifford gates [4].
Decoding
ReShape decoder that uses minimum weight decoders for the classical codes used in the hypergraph construction [5].2D geometrically local syndrome extraction circuits with depth order \(O(\sqrt{n})\) using order \(O(n)\) ancilla qubits [6].Improved BP-OSD decoder [7].Erasure-correction can be implemented approximately with \(O(n^2)\) operations with quantum generalizations [8] of the peeling and pruned peeling decoders [9], with a probabilistic version running in \(O(n^{1.5})\) operations.
Code Capacity Threshold
The threshold under ML decoding corresponds to the value of critical point of a two-dimensional random-bond Ising model on the Nishimori line [10–12] (see also [13]).
Threshold
Circuit-level noise: \(0.1\%\) with all-to-all connected syndrome extraction circuits [6]. No threshold observed above physical noise rates at or above \(10^{-6}\) using 2D geometrically local syndrome extraction circuits.
Parents
- Homological product code — A homological product of chain complexes corresponding to two classical codes is a hypergraph product code [14].
- Lifted-product (LP) code — Lifted-product codes for trivial group \(G\) are hypergraph-product codes.
- Quantum spatially coupled (SC-QLDPC) code — Hypergraph-product stabilizer generator matrices can be used as sub-matrices to define a 2D SC-QLDPC code [15].
Children
- Quantum expander code
- Kitaev surface code — Planar (toric) code can be obtained from hypergraph product of two repetition (cyclic) codes [2; Ex. 6].
Cousins
- High-dimensional expander (HDX) code — Ramanujan codes utilize the hypergraph product with a twist, which is an automorphism on one of the complexes in the tensor product, in order to increase distance [16].
- XYZ product code — The XYZ product code is based on a hypergraph product of three classical codes.
- Rotated surface code — Rotated code can be obtained from hypergraph product of two cyclic binary cyclic codes with palindromic generator polynomial ([2], Ex. 7).
- Subsystem QPC — The subsystem QPC and hypergraph-product code constructions yield the same dimension and minimum distance, but the former does not yield QLDPC codes; see [1; pg. 18].
- Generalized bicycle (GB) code — An arbitrary GB code of length \(2\ell\) is equivalent to a rotated quantum hypergraph-product code with periodicity vectors \(\vec{L}_{1}\) and \(\vec{L}_{2}\) such that \(\lvert{\vec{L}_{1}\times\vec{L}_{2}=\ell}\rvert\).
