\([[8, 3, 3]]\) Eight-qubit Gottesman code

\([[8, 3, 3]]\) Eight-qubit Gottesman code[1–3]

Description

Eight-qubit non-degenerate code that can be obtained from a modified CSS construction using the \([8,4,4]\) extended Hamming code and a \([8,7,2]\) even-weight code [3]. The modification introduces signs between the codewords.

See [4; Table 3.3] for its stabilizer generator matrix. The code's automorphism group is \(\text{A}\Gamma\text{L}(1,8)\) [5]. It is unique for its parameters, up to equivalence [6][7; pg. 386].

Transversal Gates

Permutation-based gates [8; Sec. IV.D].No gates outside of the Pauli group were found in Ref. [9].

\([[8, 2:1, 3]]\) hybrid stabilizer code — \([[8, 2:1, 3]]\) hybrid stabilizer code is obtained from the \([[8,3,3]]\) Gottesman code by using one of its logical qubits as a classical bit.
