Subsystem qubit code

Alternative names: Gauge qubit code.
Root code for the Qubit Kingdom

Description

Subsystem QECC encoding into a \(2^n\)-dimensional (i.e., \(n\)-qubit) Hilbert space.

Transversal Gates

If a subsystem qubit code \(Q\) of length \(n\) has compact subgroups \(N\triangleleft G\leq \mathrm{Aut}(Q)\) such that \(G/N\) is finite, non-Abelian, simple, and not \(A_5\), then \(n\) is at least the minimal permutation degree \(\mu(G/N)\) [1; Thm. 1].

Cousin

  • Qubit code— Subsystem qubit codes reduce to (subspace) qubit codes when there is no gauge subsystem.
