\([[2^r-1, 2^r-2r-1, 3]]\) quantum Hamming code[1] 

Description

Member of a family of self-dual CCS codes constructed from \([2^r-1,2^r-r-1,3]=C_X=C_Z\) Hamming codes and their duals the simplex codes. The code's stabilizer generator matrix blocks \(H_{X}\) and \(H_{Z}\) are both the generator matrix for a simplex code. The weight of each stabilizer generator is \(2^{r-1}\).

Protection

Protects against any single qubit error.

Transversal Gates

Pauli, Hadamard, and CNOT gates.

Decoding

Latin rectangle encoder [2].Efficient decoder [3].

Fault Tolerance

Syndrome measurement can be done with two ancillary flag qubits [4].Concatenations of quantum Hamming codes with the \([[4,2,2]]\) and \([[6,2,2]]\) codes yield fault-tolerant quantum computation with constant space and quasi-polylogarithmic time overheads [3].

Threshold

Concatenated threshold requiring constant-space and quasi-polylogarithmic time overhead [3].
