Description
A CWS code for modular qudits, defined using a modular-qudit cluster state and a set of modular-qudit \(Z\)-type Pauli strings defined by a \(q\)-ary classical code over \(\mathbb{Z}_q\).
The modular-qudit CWS construction takes in \( \mathcal{Q} = (\mathcal{G},\mathcal{C}) \), where \(\mathcal{G}\) is a graph, and where \(\mathcal{C}\) is an \((n,K,d)_{\mathbb{Z}_q}\) \(q\)-ary code over \(\mathbb{Z}_q\). From the graph, we form the modular-qudit cluster state \( |\mathcal{G} \rangle \). From the \(q\)-ary code, we form modular-qudit Pauli \(Z\)-type operators \( W_i = Z^{c_{i,1}} \otimes \cdots \otimes Z^{c_{i,n}} \), where \(c_{i,j} \) is the \(j\)-th coordinate of the \(i\)-th classical codeword. The codewords are then \( | i \rangle = W_i | \mathcal{G} \rangle \).
In an alternative convention (not used here), CWS codes are defined from an underlying modular-qudit stabilizer state that is not a necessarily a cluster state.
Notes
Parent
- Modular-qudit USt code — Any modular-qudit CWS code can be written as a modular-qudit USt whose (\(K=1\)) stabilizer code is the modular-qudit cluster state and whose coset representatives are constructed from the \(q\)-ary classical code over \(\mathbb{Z}_q\). Prime-dimensional modular-qudit CWS codes have a unique representation as USt codes [3]. Conversely, modular-qudit USt codes are equivalent to modular-qudit CWS codes via a single-Galois-qudit Clifford circuit as follows [4,5][6; Sec. 10.4]. The set of coset representatives of any modular-qudit USt can be extended to a larger set iterating over the underlying stabilizer code such that all codewords can be obtained from a single stabilizer state. Then, one can apply a single-qubit Clifford transformation to map said modular-qudit stabilizer state into a modular-qudit cluster state.

- Codeword stabilized (CWS) code — Modular-qudit CWS codes reduce to CWS codes for \(q=2\).
Cousins
- Modular-qudit cluster-state code — A single modular-qudit cluster state is used to construct a modular-qudit CWS code.
- Perfect quantum code — Generalized concatenatenations of modular-qudit CWS codes yield a family of codes that have larger logical dimension than stabilizer codes and that asymptotically approach the modular-qudit Hamming bound [7].
- Concatenated quantum code — Generalized concatenatenations of modular-qudit CWS codes yield a family of codes that have larger logical dimension than stabilizer codes and that asymptotically approach the modular-qudit Hamming bound [7].
- Modular-qudit stabilizer code — Modular-qudit CWS codes whose underlying classical code is a linear \(q\)-ary code over \(\mathbb{Z}_q\) are modular-qudit stabilizer codes containing a cluster-state codeword; see [8; Corr. 4-5], which defines CWS codes as admitting an underlying stabilizer state that is not a necessarily a cluster state.
