Description
A CSS subsystem version of the generalized Shor code that has the same parameters as the subspace version, but requires fewer stabilizer measurements, resulting in a simpler error recovery routine. The code can also be thought of as a subsystem version of an HGP code because two such codes reduce to an HGP code upon gauge fixing [2; Sec. III]. The code can be obtained from a generalized Shor code by removing certain stabilizers that do no affect the code distance.
The \(X\)- and \(Z\)-type gauge generators of this CSS \([[n_1n_2,k_1k_2,\min(d_1,d_2)]]\) code correspond to rows of the following two respective matrices, \begin{align} \begin{split} G_{X}&=H_{1}\otimes I_{n_{2}}\\ G_{Z}&=I_{n_{1}}\otimes H_{2}~, \end{split} \tag*{(1)}\end{align} where \(H_{1,2}\) are the parity-check matrices of two binary linear codes, \(C_1 = [n_1, k_1, d_1]\) and \(C_2 = [n_2, k_2, d_2]\) [2].
Decoding
Efficient decoder [3].Cousins
- Hypergraph product (HGP) code— Two SHP codes can be gauge-fixed to yield an HGP code [2; Sec. III]. The SHP and HGP code constructions yield the same dimension and minimum distance, but the former does not yield QLDPC codes; see [4; pg. 18].
- Generalized Shor code— In a \([[n_1n_2, k_1k_2, min(d_1, d_2)]]\) generalized Shor code, error correction is achieved by measuring \((n_1−k_1)n_2+(n_2−k_2)\) stabilizer generators [5]. The SHP code achieves the same degree of correctability, but requires only \((n_1−k_1)k_2+k_1(n_2−k_2)\) stabilizer measurements.
- Subsystem QECC— Classical information can also be encoded in subsystem codes using their gauge qubits [6].
- Hybrid stabilizer code— Hybrid stabilizer codes can be constructed from SHP codes by using the gauge qubits of the latter to store classical information [7; Sec. 4].
- Bravyi-Bacon-Shor (BBS) code— The BBS code construction can utilize different classical codes in different rows and columns of \(A\), while the subsystem construction does not; see [8; pg. 4]. Subsystem hypergraph product and BBS codes have been numerically compared [2].
