Single-shot code[1]
Description
A block quantum code admitting a fault-tolerant error-correcting protocol against noisy syndrome measurements that requires a number of error-correcting rounds that is independent of the number of subsystems \(n\).

- 3D subsystem surface code — The 3D subsystem surface code is a single-shot code [2].
Cousin
- Generalized bicycle (GB) code — In some GB error-correcting schemes, localized syndrome measurement errors only give rise to localized errors in the correction stage. Then, a single round of measurements is enough, and fault-tolerant error correction is quantum-local [1].
