Small-distance qubit stabilizer code

Small-distance qubit stabilizer code

Description

A qubit stabilizer code that either detects or corrects errors on at most two subsystems, i.e., have distance \(\leq 5\).

All single error-correcting qubit stabilizer codes have been classified [1]. Qubit stabilizer codes for \(n < 10\) have been classified [2], all of which have small distance. Qubit stabilizer codes have been partially enumerated up to twelve qubits [3].

Neural network quantum code— 13 inequivalent \([[9,3,3]]\) codes, along with others, have been found via reinforcement learning [4].
\([[23, 1, 7]]\) Quantum Golay code— The quantum Golay code can be punctured twice to obtain a \([[21,3,5]]\) code.
Hyperbolic color code— Many hyperbolic color codes have distance \(\leq 5\).
