Description
Also called an RHG (Raussendorf-Harrington-Goyal) cluster-state code. A three-dimensional cluster-state code defined on the bcc lattice (equivalently, a cubic lattice with qubits on edges and faces).
The MBQC version of the code is defined as the unique ground state of a certain code Hamiltonian. This state is the resource state used in the first MBQC scheme [2,3]. It encodes the temporal gate operations on the surface code into a third spatial dimension.
Addition of certain boundary Hamiltonians yields a degenerate ground-state space that serves as an example of a symmetry-protected self-correcting memory [4].

Parents
- Cluster-state code
- Walker-Wang model code — The Walker-Wang model code reduces to the RBH cluster-state code when the input category \(\mathcal{C}\) is that of the surface code [9; Sec. V.A].
Cousins
- Symmetry-protected self-correcting quantum code — The RBH code can exhibit self-correction protected by a certain symmetry.
- Subsystem color code — The RBH code for a certain boundary Hamiltonian is dual to the gauge color code [4; Sec. IV.C.1].
- Kitaev surface code — The RBH state encodes the temporal gate operations on the surface code into a third spatial dimension [2,3]. In addition, one of possible 2D boundaries of the RBH code is effectively a 2D toric code.
- Body-centered cubic (bcc) lattice code — The RBH code is defined on the bcc lattice.
