Surface-17 code[1]
Description
A \([[9,1,3]]\) rotated surface code named for the sum of its 9 data qubits and 8 syndrome qubits. It uses the smallest number of qubits to perform error correction on a surface code with parallel syndrome extraction.
Protection
Independent correction of single-qubit \(X\) and \(Z\) errors. Correction for some two-qubit \(X\) and \(Z\) errors.
Transversal Gates
Pauli gates, CNOT gate, and \(H\) gate (with relabeling).
Decoding
Lookup table [1].
Realizations
Implemented at ETH Zurich by the Wallraff group [2] and on the Zuchongzhi 2.1 superconducting quantum processor [3]. Both experimental error rates are above the pseudothreshold for this code relative to a single qubit. See Physics viewpoint for a summary [4].
Notes
Subject of various numerical studies examining the system for noises and architectures specific to trapped ions [1][5][6] and superconducting circuits [7][8][9]
