Description
Code whose codewords realize a 2D topological order rendered by a Chern-Simons topological field theory. The corresponding anyon theory is defined by a finite group \(G\) and a Type-III group cocycle.
A code Hamiltonian can be obtained from a 2D model with symmetry-protected topological (SPT) order by gauging the model's symmetry. The same group and cocycle data classifies both 2D SPTs and TQDs [3].
Parents
- Group-based quantum code
- String-net code — String-net models reduce to TQDs for categories \(\text{Vec}_G^\omega\), where \(G\) is a finite group, and \(\omega\) is a Type III cocycle. There is also a more direct duality between a large class of string–net models and certain TQD models [1].
Children
- Generalized 2D color code — The anyon theory corresponding to a generalized color code is a trivial-cocycle TQD associated with the group \(G \times G/[G,G]\), where \(G\) is any finite group.
- Quantum-double code — The anyon theory corresponding to a quantum-double code is a TQD with trivial cocycle.
- Abelian TQD stabilizer code — The anyon theory corresponding to (Abelian) TQD codes is defined by an (Abelian) group and a Type III cocycle.
