Description
Modular-qudit stabilizer code whose codewords realize 2D modular gapped Abelian topological order. The corresponding anyon theory is defined by an abelian group and a Type-III group cocycle that can be decomposed as a product of Type-I and Type-II group cocycles; see [4; Sec. IV.A].
Parents
- Modular-qudit stabilizer code — All Abelian TQD codes can be realized as modular-qudit stabilizer codes by starting with an abelian quantum double model along with a family of Abelian TQDs that generalize the double semion anyon theory and condensing certain bosonic anyons [5].
- Abelian topological code — Abelian TQDs realize all modular gapped Abelian topological orders [4]. Conversely, every abelian anyon theory is a subtheory of some TQD [5; Sec. 6.2]. Any abelian anyon theory \(A\) can be realized at one of the surfaces of a 3D Walker-Wang model whose underlying theory is an abelian TQD containing \(A\) as a subtheory [6,7][5; Appx. H].
- Twisted quantum double (TQD) code — The anyon theory corresponding to (abelian) TQD codes is defined by an (abelian) group and a Type III cocycle.
Children
- Double-semion stabilizer code — When treated as ground states of the code Hamiltonian, the code states realize double-semion topological order, a topological phase of matter that also exists in twisted \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) gauge theory [8].
- Abelian quantum double stabilizer code — The anyon theory corresponding to abelian quantum double codes is defined by an abelian group and trivial cocycle. All Abelian TQD codes can be realized as modular-qudit stabilizer codes by starting with an abelian quantum double model along with a family of Abelian TQDs that generalize the double semion anyon theory and condensing certain bosonic anyons [5]. Upon gauging, Type-I and II \(\mathbb{Z}_2^3\) TQDs realize the same topological order as certain abelian quantum double models [9–11].
Cousins
- Dihedral \(G=D_m\) quantum-double code — Upon gauging, a Type-III \(\mathbb{Z}_2^3\) TQD realizes the same topological order as the \(G=D_4\) quantum double model [9–11].
- Double-semion stabilizer code — All Abelian TQD codes can be realized as modular-qudit stabilizer codes by starting with an abelian quantum double model along with a family of Abelian TQDs that generalize the double semion anyon theory and condensing certain bosonic anyons [5].
- Translationally invariant stabilizer code — Translationally-invariant stabilizer codes can realize 2D modular gapped abelian topological orders [5]. Conversely, abelian TQD codes need not be translationally invariant, and can realize multiple topological phases on one lattice.
- XS stabilizer code — TQD models for the groups \(\mathbb{Z}_2^k\) can be realized as XS stabilizer codes [12].
