\([[1152,580,\leq 12]]\) co-designed Kasai code[1]

Description

A Kasai code of rate just above one half, co-designed with reconfigurable neutral-atom hardware, in which every qubit permutation required by syndrome extraction reduces to at most one horizontal shift together with one vertical shift or swap on a three-by-thirty-two grid. It is the smaller of the two instances used to demonstrate that ultra-high-rate quantum LDPC codes can reach logical error rates approaching the teraquop regime while remaining implementable under realistic parallel-control constraints.

The code uses \(J=3\) active block rows, \(L=12\) block columns, and lift size \(P=96\), giving \(n=LP=1152\) qubits at rate \(0.503\), girth at least six, and non-commutativity imposed on the index pairs \((0,3)\) and \((1,2)\) [1]. The twelve affine permutations \(f_i(x)=a_ix+b_i\) and \(g_i(x)=c_ix+d_i\) defining the \(G\)-lift are tabulated in Ref. [1]. Its defining co-design property is that all syndrome-extraction transition permutations commute with a reference affine permutation having three orbits of length \(32\), which is what produces the three-by-thirty-two layout and the at-most-one-horizontal-plus-one-vertical-move schedule.

The same construction yields a \([[2304,1156,\leq 14]]\) instance, along with movement-compatible \([[2304,1156,\leq 16]]\) and \([[4608,2308,\leq 22]]\) codes [1].

This code also belongs to a second family: it is permutation equivalent, as verified numerically, to the GALA code \(\mathrm{GALA}_{12,3}(S_3\times\mathbb{Z}_{32})\), with its \([[2304,1156]]\) sibling likewise permutation equivalent to \(\mathrm{GALA}_{12,3}(S_3\times\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_{32})\) [2]. The non-Abelian factor \(S_3\) and Abelian factor \(\mathbb{Z}_{32}\) of that presentation reproduce the reference-permutation orbit structure, recovering the same optimal movement schedule from the group data.

Protection

The encoding rate is \(0.503\), and the distance is reported only as the upper bound \(d \leq 12\) [1].

Under a circuit-level noise model at physical error rate \(10^{-3}\) without idling noise, the average per-logical-qubit-per-round error rate is directly observed to be \(2.9^{+3.1}_{-1.5}\times10^{-11}\). The \([[2304,1156,\leq 14]]\) instance reaches \(1.3^{+3.0}_{-0.9}\times10^{-13}\) [1]. Both lie close to a heuristic finite-blocklength Pareto frontier relating block length, encoding rate, and logical error rate.

Decoding

Hierarchical decoder combining the throughput of belief propagation with an exact integer-programming fallback [1].

Fault Tolerance

Syndrome extraction requires at most one horizontal shift together with one vertical shift or swap per step, on a three-by-thirty-two qubit layout [1].

Cousin

  • Cornucopia code— The \([[1152,580,\leq 12]]\) code is permutation equivalent to a \(\mathrm{GALA}_{12,3}(S_3\times\mathbb{Z}_{32})\) code [2], drawn from the same direct-product GALA sector as the Cornucopia family. It need not lie in the family itself since its lift takes mutually inverse row translations where the Cornucopia construction repeats a single one [1,3]. Its \([[2304,1156]]\) sibling has non-cyclic Abelian factor \(\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_{32}\) and also lies outside the family [2].

Primary Hierarchy

Parents
This Kasai code satisfies the reference-affine-permutation commutation condition, which relaxes the girth from eight to six in exchange for qubit-permutation schedules of constant cost [1].
The code is permutation equivalent to \(\mathrm{GALA}_{12,3}(S_3\times\mathbb{Z}_{32})\) [2].
