Description
A \([[2,(0,2),(2,1)]]_{\mathbb{Z}}\) homological rotor code on the smallest tiling of the projective plane \(\mathbb{R}P^2\). The ideal code can be obtained from a four-rotor Josephson-junction [4] system after a choice of grounding [3].
Logical codewords can be expressed in the basis of angular momentum states as \begin{align} \begin{split} |\overline{0}\rangle&=\sum_{\ell\in\mathbb{Z}}\left|2\ell,-2\ell\right\rangle \\|\overline{1}\rangle&=\sum_{\ell\in\mathbb{Z}}\left|2\ell+1,-2\ell-1\right\rangle~. \end{split} \tag*{(1)}\end{align} An alternative codeword basis in terms of angular position states is \begin{align} \begin{split} |\overline{+}\rangle&=\intop_{U(1)}d\phi\left|\phi,\phi\right\rangle \\|\overline{-}\rangle&=\intop_{U(1)}d\phi\left|\phi,\phi+\pi\right\rangle~. \end{split} \tag*{(2)}\end{align}
