Description
Modular-qudit subsystem stabilizer code which admits a set of gauge-group generators which consist of either all-\(Z\) or all-\(X\) modular-qudit Pauli strings. This ensures that the code's stabilizer group is also CSS.
The gauge group generators can be expressed as a matrix using the symplectic reprensetation. This matrix is of the form \begin{align} H=\begin{pmatrix}0 & H_{Z}\\ H_{X} & 0 \end{pmatrix}~. \label{eq:parity} \tag*{(1)}\end{align} The two matrix blocks, \(H_{Z}\) and \(H_X\), correspond to the parity-check matrices of two \(q\)-ary linear codes, an \([n,k_X,d_X]_q\) code \(C_X\) and \([n,k_Z,d_Z]_q\) code \(C_Z\), respectively. For prime-dimensional qudits, code parameters and code basis states have been expressed in terms of only data associated with these two classical codes [1,2].
Decoding
Parent
- Subsystem modular-qudit stabilizer code — Subsystem modular-qudit CSS codes are subsystem modular-qudit stabilizer codes whose gauge groups admit a generating set of pure-\(X\) and pure-\(Z\) Pauli strings. Additionally, any \([[n,k,r,d]]_{\mathbb{Z}_q}\) subsystem stabilizer code can be mapped onto a \([[2n,2k,2r,\geq d]]_{\mathbb{Z}_q}\) subsystem CSS code, with the mapping preserving geometric locality of a code up to a constant factor [2]. Every subsystem prime-qudit stabilizer code can be constructed from two nested subsystem prime-qudit CSS codes satisfying certain constraints [2].
Child
- Subsystem CSS code — Subsystem modular-qudit CSS codes reduce to subsystem qubit CSS codes for \(q=2\).
Cousin
- Modular-qudit CSS code — Subsystem modular-qudit CSS codes reduce to (subspace) modular-qudit CSS codes when there is no gauge subsystem.
