\([[15,1,3]]\) quantum Reed-Muller code[1–3] 

Description

\([[15,1,3]]\) CSS code that is most easily thought of as a tetrahedral 3D color code.

This code contains 15 qubits, represented by four vertices, four face centers, six edge centers, and one body center. The tetrahedron is cellulated into four identical polyhedron cells by connecting the body center to all four face centers, where each face center is then connected by three adjacent edge centers. Each colored cell corresponds to a weight-eight \(X\)-check, and each face corresponds to a weight-4 \(Z\)-check. A logical \(Z\) is any weight-3 \(Z\)-string along an edge of the entire tetrahedron. The logical \(X\) is any weight-7 \(X\)-face of the entire tetrahedron.

The code can also be thought of as a code on all corners of a tesseract except one [4].

Magic

Magic-state yield parameter \( \gamma= \log_d (n/k)\approx 2.47\) [6][5; Box 2].

Encoding

Fault-tolerant logical zero and logical plus state preparation [7].

Transversal Gates

This is the smallest qubit stabilizer code with a (strongly) transversal gate outside of the Clifford group [8].A transversal logical \(T^\dagger\) is implemented by applying a \(T\) gate on every qubit [1,5,9].A subsystem version yields a transversal \(CCZ\) gate [10].

Gates

Code is often used in magic-state distillation protocols because of its transversal \(T\) gate [3].

Fault Tolerance

A fault-tolerant universal gate set can be done via code switching between the Steane code and the \([[15,1,3]]\) code [9–12].Fault-tolerant logical zero and logical plus state preparation [7].

Threshold

Numerical study of concatenated thresholds of logical CNOT gates for various codes against depolarizing noise [13].

Parents

Cousins

  • Doubled color code — The \([[15,1,3]]\) code can be viewed as a (gauge-fixed) doubled color code obtained from the Steane code via the doubling transformation [16].
  • \([[7,1,3]]\) Steane code — The \([[15,1,3]]\) code can be viewed as a (gauge-fixed) doubled color code obtained from the Steane code via the doubling transformation [16]. A fault-tolerant universal gate set can be done via code switching between the Steane code and the \([[15,1,3]]\) code [9–12,17]. The \([[105,1]]\) concatenation of the \([[15,1,3]]\) and Steane codes allows for a universal gate set consisting of gates that are transversal w.r.t. to two different partitions [18,19].
  • Concatenated Steane code — The \([[105,1]]\) concatenation of the \([[15,1,3]]\) and Steane codes allows for a universal gate set consisting of gates that are transversal w.r.t. to two different partitions [18,19].
  • Concatenated qubit code — The concatenated \([[15,1,3]]\) code has a measurement threshold less than one [20].
  • Quantum Lego code — The quantum Lego framework yields an \([[8,1,2]]\) stabilizer code admits a transversal logical \(T\) gate that originates from that of a trivial (distance-one) \([[7,1]]\) code. This code, in turn, is obtained from the \([[15,1,3]]\) code [21].
  • Binary dihedral PI code — The \(((11,2,3))\) binary dihedral PI code realizes the \(T\) gate transversally, but requires fewer qubits than the \([[15,1,3]]\) quantum Reed-Muller code.
  • \([[10,1,2]]\) CSS code — The \([[10,1,2]]\) code can be obtained by morphing the \([[15,1,3]]\) code [22].
  • \([[8,3,2]]\) CSS code — The \([[8,3,2]]\) code can be obtained from a subset of physical qubits of the \([[15,1,3]]\) code [22].
  • \([[15, 7, 3]]\) quantum Hamming code — Gauging out six of the seven logical qubits of the \([[15,7,3]]\) code yields the \([[15,1,3]]\) code [23].
