Triorthogonal code[1]
Description
A triorthogonal \(m \times n\) binary matrix is triorthogonal if its rows \(r_1, \ldots, r_m\) satisfy \(|r_i \cdot r_j| = 0\) and \(|r_i \cdot r_j \cdot r_k| = 0\), where addition and multiplication are done on \(\mathbb{Z}_2\). The triorthogonal code associated with the matrix is constructed by mapping non-zero entries in even-weight rows to \(X\) operators, and \(Z\) operators for each row in the orthogonal complement.
Protection
Weight \(t\) Pauli errors, where \(t\) depends on the family. For example, Ref. [1] provides a family of distance \(2\) codes. It also presents a \([[49, 1, 5]]\) code.
Magic
Depends on the matrix. Reference [1] gave a family of \(\frac{k}{3k+8}\) codes with magic-state distillation scaling exponent \(\gamma = \log_2 \frac{3k+8}{k}\).
Encoding
Encoder for magic states for the code constructed in [1].
Transversal Gates
Gates
Triorthogonal codes can be used for high-quality magic-state distillation [1].
Fault Tolerance
Threshold
Approximately \(\frac{1}{3k + 1}\) [1].
Notes
Reference [4] presents a classification of triorthogonal codes up to \(n + k \leq 38\) by associating each triorthogonal code with a Reed-Muller polynomial.

- \([[15,1,3]]\) quantum Reed-Muller code — The \([[15, 1, 3]]\) code is a triorthogonal code [4].
Cousins
- Quantum Reed-Muller code — Classification of triorthongonal codes yields a connection to Reed-Muller polynomials [4].
- Quantum divisible code — Triorthogonal codes can be derived using a procedure that yields sufficient conditions for a CSS code to admit a given transversal diagonal logical gate. Quantum divisible codes are derived in a similar procedure, but one that yields necessary and sufficient conditions.
- Color code — The 3D color code is triorthogonal.
