XY surface code[1]
Also known as Tailored surface code (TSC).
Description
Non-CSS derivative of the surface code whose generators are \(XXXX\) and \(YYYY\), obtained by mapping \(Z \to Y\) in the surface code.
Protection
As a stabilizer code, \([[n=O(d^2), k=O(1), d]]\).
Code Capacity Threshold
\(50\%\) at infinite \(Z\) bias with maximum-likelihood decoder [2].\(18.7\%\) for standard depolarizing noise with maximum-likelihood decoder [2].
Threshold
\(6.32(3)\%\) for infinite \(Z\) bias, and thresholds of \(\sim 5\%\) for \(Z\) bias around \(\eta = 100\) using a variant of the minimum-weight perfect matching decoder [3].
Parents
- Clifford-deformed surface code (CDSC) — XY code is obtained from the surface code by applying \(H\sqrt{Z}H\) to all qubits, thereby exchaning \(Z\leftrightarrow Y\).
- Abelian quantum-double stabilizer code
Cousins
- Heavy-hexagon code — XY surface code can be adapted for a heavy-hexagonal lattice [4].
- Asymmetric quantum code — XY surface codes perform well against biased noise [1].
