Also known as Random Clifford-circuit code.
Description
An \(n\)-qubit, modular-qudit, or Galois-qudit stabilizer code whose construction is non-deterministic. Since stabilizer encoders are Clifford circuits, such codes can be thought of as arising from random Clifford circuits.
Rate
Random qubit stabilizer codes achieve the quantum GV bound [1,3]; see notes [4]. In fact, sampling random CSS codes is sufficient [2].

- Monitored random-circuit code — An important sub-family of monitored random-circuit codes are the Clifford monitored random-circuit codes, where unitaries are sampled from the Clifford group [5].
- Holographic tensor-network code — Random holographic tensor-network codes reproduce many aspects of holography [6–8].
- Quantum LDPC (QLDPC) code — Random QLDPC codes found by solving certain constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) practically achieve the capacity of the erasure channel [9].
- Generalized quantum divisible code — Random CSS codes [2] can be used to construct families of \([[O(d^{\nu−1}), \Omega(d), d]]\) level-\(\nu\) generalized quantum divisible codes [10; Sec. VI.A].
- Fiber-bundle code — Taking a random LDPC code as the base and a cyclic repetition code as the fiber yields, after distance balancing, a QLDPC code with distance of order \(\Omega(n^{3/5}\text{polylog}(n))\) and rate of order \(\Omega(n^{-2/5}\text{polylog}(n))\) is obtained.
- Homological product code — Random homological codes are asymptotically good with high probability [11; Thm. 1].
- Qubit CSS code — Random CSS codes asymptotically achieve linear distance with high probability, achieving the quantum GV bound [2].
- Clifford-deformed surface code (CDSC) — Many useful CDSCs are constructed using random Clifford circuits.
- Compass code — Compass code families are constructed by randomly assigning stabilizers to plaquettes of a square lattice.
- Modular-qudit DA code — DA codes admit instantaneous stabilizer groups, and DA code state initialization, logical gates, and error correction are done by a sequence of different (usually weight-two) stabilizer measurements.
- Galois-qudit GRS code — Concatenations of Galois-qudit GRS codes and random stabilizer codes can achieve the quantum GV bound [12].
