Description
3D color code defined on select tetrahedra of a 3D tiling. Qubits are placed on the vertices, edges, triangles, and in the center of each tetrahedron. The code has both string-like and sheet-like logical operators [3].
Transversal Gates
A \([[5d^3-12d^2+16,3,d]]\) close relative of this code admits a logical CCZ gate via single-qubit rotations [4].
Fault Tolerance
Fault-tolerant quantum computation designed for a 2D architecture [5].
Threshold
\(0.46\%\) with clustering decoder [3].\(1.9\%\) for 1D string-like logical operators and \(27.6\%\) for 2D sheet-like operators for 3D codes with noise models using optimal decoding and perfect measurements [3].

Child
- \([[15,1,3]]\) quantum Reed-Muller code — The \([[15,1,3]]\) code is a tetrahedral color code defined on a single tetrahedron.
Cousin
- Body-centered cubic (bcc) lattice — The tetrahedral color code is defined on a lattice of tetrahedra that are carved out of a BCC lattice.
