Union-Jack color code[1]
Description
Triangular color code defined on a patch of the Tetrakis square tiling (a.k.a. the Union Jack lattice).
Transversal Gates
Transversal logical Clifford gates [1].
Code Capacity Threshold
Independent \(X,Z\) noise: The threshold under ML decoding corresponds to the value of a critical point of a two-dimensional three-body random-bond Ising model (RBIM) on the Nishimori line [2,3], calculated to be \(10.9\%\) [1].
Parent
Cousin
- Square-octagon (4.8.8) color code — Adding a vertex to the center of every tile of the 4.8.8 tiling yields a rotated version of the Union-Jack lattice.
