Quantum low-weight check (QLWC) code[1]
Description
Member of a family of \([[n,k,d]]\) modular-qudit or Galois-qudit stabilizer codes for which the number of sites participating in each stabilizer generator is bounded by a constant as \(n\to\infty\).

- Quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) code — QLDPC codes are QLWC codes for which the number of stabilizer generators that each site participates in is bounded by a constant as \(n\to\infty\).
Cousins
- Unary code — A family of approximate non-stabilizer QLWC codes with linear distance and rate has been constructed [1] using unary codes that arise from the Feynman-Kitaev clock construction [2].
- Approximate quantum error-correcting code (AQECC) — A family of approximate non-stabilizer QLWC codes with linear distance and rate has been constructed [1] using unary codes that arise from the Feynman-Kitaev clock construction [2].
- Circuit-to-Hamiltonian approximate code — The circuit-to-Hamiltonian code construction yields approximate codes whose distance and logical-qubit number are both of order \(\Omega(n/\log^5 n)\) [3; Thm. 3.1]. These codes are approximate non-stabilizer QLWC codes since the Hamiltonian consists of non-commuting weight-ten non-Pauli projectors, with each qubit acted on by order \(O(\text{polylog}(n)\) projectors.
