Integer-based code

Alternative names: \(\mathbb{Z}\) code.

Description

Encodes \(K\) states (codewords) into \(n\) integer coordinates.

Protection

A common distance between integer vectors is the \(\ell_1\) distance [1,2].

Cousin

  • Rotor code— Rotor codes are quantum versions of integer codes.
