Description
Block quantum code defined on two-dimensional subsystems such that any permutation of the subsystems leaves any codeword invariant.
Dicke states: For \(n\)-qubit block codes, an often used basis for the \(n+1\)-dimensional PI subspace consists of the Dicke states \(|D^n_w\rangle\) -- normalized PI states of \(w\) excitations, i.e., a normalized sum over all binary-string basis elements with \(w\) ones and \(n - w\) zeroes. For example, the single-excitation Dicke state on three qubits is \begin{align} |D_{1}^{3}\rangle=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\left(|001\rangle+|010\rangle+|100\rangle\right)~. \tag*{(1)}\end{align} The \(n+1\)-dimensional PI space can be thought of as a standalone spin-\(n/2\) quantum system, yielding a way to convert between permutation-invatiant qubit codes and \(SU(2)\) spin codes. A single-spin code for the \(SU(2)\) group correcting spherical tensors can be mapped into a PI qubit code with an analogous distance [1][2; Thm. 1].

- Clifford spin code — Clifford codes for spins housing representations of \(SU(2)\) yield PI qubit codes with non-trivial distance when the single spin-\(n/2\) is treated as the permutationally invariant subspace of \(n\) qubits via the Dicke-state mapping. The subgroup of gates of a Clifford spin code is implemented transversally via this mapping [1].
Cousins
- Qubit stabilizer code — There is a measurement-free code-switching protocol between a qubit stabilizer code and a PI qubit code [5].
- Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) code — Several instances of ETH codes contain PI qubit codewords.
- Single-spin code — Single-spin codes are subspaces of a single large spin, which can be either standalone or correspond to the PI subspace of a set of spins via the Dicke state mapping.
