Code Description
2D color code Color code defined on a two-dimensional planar graph. Each face hosts two stabilizer generators, a Pauli-\(X\) and a Pauli-\(Z\) string acting on all the qubits of the face.
2D hyperbolic surface code Hyperbolic surface codes based on a tessellation of a closed 2D manifold with a hyperbolic geometry (i.e., non-Euclidean geometry, e.g., saddle surfaces when defined on a 2D plane).
2D lattice stabilizer code Lattice stabilizer code in two spatial dimensions.
3D color code Color code defined on a four-valent four-colorable tiling of 3D space. Logical dimension is determined by the genus of the underlying surface (for closed surfaces) and types of boundaries (for open surfaces).
3D fermionic surface code A non-CSS 3D Kitaev surface code that realizes \(\mathbb{Z}_2\) gauge theory with an emergent fermion, i.e., the fermionic-charge bosonic-loop (FcBl) phase [1]. The model can be defined on a cubic lattice in several ways [2; Eq. (D45-46)]. Realizations on other lattices also exist [3], and the phase of this code also exists in the 3D Kitaev honeycomb model [4].
3D lattice stabilizer code Lattice stabilizer code in three spatial dimensions. Qubit codes are conjectured to admit either fracton phases or abelian topological phases that are equivalent to multiple copies of the 3D surface code and/or the 3D fermionic surface code via a local constant-depth Clifford circuit [2].
3D surface code A generalization of the Kitaev surface code defined on a 3D lattice.
Abelian LP code An LP code for Abelian group \(G\). The case of \(G\) being a cyclic group is a GB code (a.k.a. a quasi-cyclic LP code) [5; Sec. III.E]. A particular family with \(G=\mathbb{Z}_{\ell}\) yields codes with constant rate and nearly constant distance.
Abelian TQD stabilizer code Modular-qudit stabilizer code whose codewords realize 2D modular gapped Abelian topological order.
Abelian quantum-double stabilizer code Modular-qudit stabilizer code whose codewords realize 2D modular gapped Abelian topological order with trivial cocycle. The corresponding anyon theory is defined by an Abelian group. All such codes can be realized by a stack of modular-qudit surface codes because all Abelian groups are Kronecker products of cyclic groups.
Analog surface code An analog CSS version of the Kitaev surface code realizing a phase of 2D \(\mathbb{R}\) gauge theory.
BB5 code A BB code defined by weight-five measurements designed for long chains of trapped ions. Examples include \([[30,4,5]]\) and \([[48,4,7]]\) codes,
Balanced product (BP) code Family of CSS quantum codes based on products of two classical codes which share common symmetries. The balanced product can be understood as taking the usual tensor/hypergraph product and then factoring out the symmetries factored. This reduces the overall number of physical qubits \(n\), while, under certain circumstances, leaving the number of encoded qubits \(k\) and the code distance \(d\) invariant. This leads to a more favourable encoding rate \(k/n\) and normalized distance \(d/n\) compared to the tensor/hypergraph product.
Ball color code A color code defined on a \(D\)-dimensional colex. This family includes hypercube color codes (color codes defined on balls constructed from hyperoctahedra) and 3D ball color codes (color codes defined on duals of certain Archimedean solids).
Bicycle code A CSS code whose stabilizer generator matrix blocks are \(H_{X}=H_{Z}=(A|A^T)\), where \(A\) is a circulant matrix. The fact that \(A\) commutes with its transpose ensures that the CSS condition is satisfied. Bicycle codes are the first QLDPC codes.
Bivariate bicycle (BB) code One of several Abelian 2BGA codes which admit time-optimal syndrome measurement circuits that can be implemented in a two-layer architecture, a generalization of the square-lattice architecture optimal for the surface codes.
Chamon model code A foliated type-I fracton non-CSS code defined on a cubic lattice using one weight-eight stabilizer generator acting on the eight vertices of each cube in the lattice [2; Eq. (D38)].
Checkerboard model code A foliated type-I fracton code defined on a cubic lattice that admits weight-eight \(X\)- and \(Z\)-type stabilizer generators on the eight vertices of each cube in the lattice. A tetrahedral Ising model can be used to obtain the checkerboard model by gauging [6–15] its subsystem symmetry [8].
Chiral semion Walker-Wang model code A 3D lattice modular-qudit stabilizer code with qudit dimension \(q=4\) whose low-energy excitations on boundaries realize the chiral semion topological order. The model admits 2D chiral semion topological order at one of its surfaces [16,17]. The corresponding phase can also be realized via a non-stabilizer Hamiltonian [18].
Classical-product code A CSS code constructed by separately constructing the \(X\) and \(Z\) check matrices using product constructions from classical codes. A particular \([[512,174,8]]\) code performed well [19] against erasure and depolarizing noise when compared to other notable CSS codes, such as the asymptotically good quantum Tanner codes. These codes have been generalized to the intersecting subset code family [20].
Clifford-deformed surface code (CDSC) A generally non-CSS derivative of the surface code defined by applying a constant-depth Clifford circuit to the original (CSS) surface code. Unlike the surface code, CDSCs include codes whose thresholds and subthreshold performance are enhanced under noise biased towards dephasing. Examples of CDSCs include the XY code, XZZX code, and random CDSCs.
Color code Member of a family of qubit CSS codes defined on particular \(D\)-dimensional graphs.
Compactified \(\mathbb{R}\) gauge theory code An integer-homology bosonic CSS code realizing 2D \(U(1)\) gauge theory on bosonic modes. The code can be obtained from the analog surface code by condensing certain anyons [21]. This results in a pinning of each mode to the space of periodic functions, which make up a physical rotor, and can be thought of as compactification of the 2D \(\mathbb{R}\) gauge theory phase realized by the analog surface code.
Crystalline-circuit qubit code Code dynamically generated by unitary Clifford circuits defined on a lattice with some crystalline symmetry. A notable example is the circuit defined on a rotated square lattice with vertices corresponding to iSWAP gates and edges decorated by \(R_X[\pi/2]\), a single-qubit rotation by \(\pi/2\) around the \(X\)-axis. This circuit is invariant under space-time translations by a unit cell \((T, a)\) and all transformations of the square lattice point group \(D_4\).
Cubic honeycomb color code 3D color code defined on a four-colorable bitruncated cubic honeycomb uniform tiling.
Dinur-Hsieh-Lin-Vidick (DHLV) code A family of asymptotically good QLDPC codes which are related to expander LP codes in that the roles of the check operators and physical qubits are exchanged.
Dinur-Lin-Vidick (DLV) code Member of a family of quantum locally testable codes constructed using cubical chain complexes, which are \(t\)-order extensions of the complexes underlying expander codes (\(t=1\)) and expander lifted-product codes (\(t=2\)).
Distance-balanced code Galois-qudit CSS code constructed from a CSS code and a classical code using a distance-balancing procedure based on a generalized homological product. The initial code is said to be unbalanced, i.e., tailored to noise biased toward either bit- or phase-flip errors, and the procedure can result in a code that is treats both types of errors on a more equal footing. The original distance-balancing procedure [22], later generalized [23; Thm. 4.2], can yield QLDPC codes [22; Thm. 1].
Double-semion stabilizer code A 2D lattice modular-qudit stabilizer code with qudit dimension \(q=4\) that realizes the 2D double semion topological phase. The code can be obtained from the \(\mathbb{Z}_4\) surface code by condensing the anyon \(e^2 m^2\) [24].
Expander LP code Family of \(G\)-lifted product codes constructed using two random classical Tanner codes defined on expander graphs [25]. For certain parameters, this construction yields the first asymptotically good QLDPC codes. Classical codes resulting from this construction are one of the first two families of \(c^3\)-LTCs.
Fiber-bundle code A CSS code constructed by combining one code as the base and another as the fiber of a fiber bundle. In particular, taking a random LDPC code as the base and a cyclic repetition code as the fiber yields, after distance balancing, a QLDPC code with distance of order \(\Omega(n^{3/5}\text{polylog}(n))\) and rate of order \(\Omega(n^{-2/5}\text{polylog}(n))\) is obtained.
Fibonacci fractal spin-liquid code A fractal type-I fracton CSS code defined on a cubic lattice [2; Eq. (D23)].
Finite-geometry (FG) QLDPC code CSS code constructed from linear binary codes whose parity-check or generator matrices are incidence matrices of points, hyperplanes, or other structures in finite geometries. These codes can be interpreted as quantum versions of FG-LDPC codes, but some of them [26,27] are not strictly QLDPC.
Four Color Cube (FCC) fracton model code A fracton code obtained from four coupled X-cube models using p-membrane condensation. A modular-qudit generalization has been proposed [28].
Fractal surface code Kitaev surface code on a fractal geometry, which is obtained by removing qubits from the surface code on a cubic lattice. A related construction, the fractal product code, is a hypergraph product of two classical codes defined on a Sierpinski carpet graph [29]. The underlying classical codes form classical self-correcting memories [30–32].
Fracton stabilizer code A 3D translationally invariant modular-qudit stabilizer code whose codewords make up the ground-state space of a Hamiltonian in a fracton phase. Unlike topological phases, whose excitations can move in any direction, fracton phases are characterized by excitations whose movement is restricted.
Freedman-Meyer-Luo code Hyperbolic surface code constructed using cellulation of a Riemannian Manifold \(M\) exhibiting systolic freedom [33]. Codes derived from such manifolds can achieve distances scaling better than \(\sqrt{n}\), something that is impossible using closed 2D surfaces or 2D surfaces with boundaries [34]. Improved codes are obtained by studying a weak family of Riemann metrics on closed 4-dimensional manifolds \(S^2\otimes S^2\) with the \(Z_2\)-homology.
GKP-surface code A concatenated code whose outer code is a GKP code and whose inner code is a toric surface code [35], rotated surface code [36–40], or XZZX surface code [41].
Galois-qudit HGP code A member of a family of Galois-qudit CSS codes whose stabilizer generator matrix is obtained from a hypergraph product of two classical linear \(q\)-ary codes.
Galois-qudit color code Extension of the color code to 2D lattices of Galois qudits.
Galois-qudit expander code Galois-qudit CSS code constructed from a hypergraph product of expander codes.
Galois-qudit surface code Extension of the surface code to 2D lattices of Galois qudits.
Generalized bicycle (GB) code A quasi-cyclic Galois-qudit CSS code constructed using a generalized version of the bicycle ansatz [42] from a pair of equivalent index-two quasi-cyclic linear codes. Equivalently, the codes can constructed via the lifted-product construction for \(G\) being a cyclic group [5; Sec. III.E].
Generalized homological-product CSS code CSS code whose properties are determined from an underlying chain complex, which often consists of some type of product of other chain complexes.
Generalized homological-product code Stabilizer code whose properties are determined from an underlying chain complex, which often consists of some type of product of other chain complexes. The Qubit CSS-to-homology correspondence yields an interpretation of codes in terms of manifolds, thus allowing for the use of various products from topology in constructing codes.
Generalized homological-product qubit CSS code Qubit CSS code whose properties are determined from an underlying chain complex, which often consists of some type of product of other chain complexes.
Generalized quantum Tanner code An extension of quantum Tanner codes to codes constructed from two commuting regular graphs with the same vertex set. This allows for code construction using finite sets and Schreier graphs, yielding a broader family of square complexes.
Golden code Variant of the Guth-Lubotzky hyperbolic surface code that uses regular tessellations for 4-dimensional hyperbolic space.
Good QLDPC code Also called asymptotically good QLDPC codes. A family of QLDPC codes \([[n_i,k_i,d_i]]\) whose asymptotic rate \(\lim_{i\to\infty} k_i/n_i\) and asymptotic distance \(\lim_{i\to\infty} d_i/n_i\) are both positive.
Guth-Lubotzky code Hyperbolic surface code based on cellulations of certain four-dimensional manifolds. The manifolds are shown to have good homology and systolic properties for the purposes of code construction, with corresponding codes exhibiting linear rate.
Haah cubic code (CC) A 3D lattice stabilizer code on a length-\(L\) cubic lattice with one or two qubits per site. Admits two types of stabilizer generators with support on each cube of the lattice. In the non-CSS case, these two are related by spatial inversion. For CSS codes, we require that the product of all corner operators is the identity. We lastly require that there are no non-trivial string operators, meaning that single-site operators are a phase, and any period one logical operator \(l \in \mathsf{S}^{\perp}\) is just a phase.
Hemicubic code Homological code constructed out of cubes in high dimensions. The hemicubic code family has asymptotically diminishing soundness that scales as order \(\Omega(1/\log n)\), locality of stabilizer generators scaling as order \(O(\log n)\), and distance of order \(\Theta(\sqrt{n})\).
Hierarchical code Member of a family of \([[n,k,d]]\) qubit stabilizer codes resulting from a concatenation of a constant-rate QLDPC code with a rotated surface code. Concatenation allows for syndrome extraction to be performed on a 2D geometry while maintining a threshold at the expense of a logarithmically vanishing rate. The growing syndrome extraction circuit depth allows known bounds in the literature to be weakened [43,44].
High-dimensional expander (HDX) code CSS code constructed from a Ramanujan quantum code and an asymptotically good classical LDPC code using distance balancing. Ramanujan quantum codes are defined using Ramanujan complexes which are simplicial complexes that generalise Ramanujan graphs [45,46]. Combining the quantum code obtained from a Ramanujan complex and a good classical LDPC code, which can be thought of as coming from a 1-dimensional chain complex, yields a new quantum code that is defined on a 2-dimensional chain complex. This 2-dimensional chain complex is obtained by the co-complex of the product of the 2 co-complexes. The length, dimension and distance of the new quantum code depend on the input codes.
Homological code CSS-type extension of the Kitaev surface code to arbitrary manifolds. The version on a Euclidean manifold of some fixed dimension is called the \(D\)-dimensional "surface" or \(D\)-dimensional toric code.
Homological product code CSS code formulated using the tensor product of two chain complexes of length one or greater (see Qubit CSS-to-homology correspondence).
Honeycomb (6.6.6) color code 2D color code defined on a patch of the 6.6.6 (honeycomb) tiling.
Hsieh-Halasz (HH) code Member of one of two families of fracton codes, named HH-I and HH-II, defined on a cubic lattice with two qubits per site. HH-I (HH-II) is a CSS (non-CSS) stabilizer code family, with the former identified as a foliated type-I fracton code [2].
Hsieh-Halasz-Balents (HHB) code Member of one of two families of fracton codes, named HHB model A and B, defined on a cubic lattice with two qubits per site. Both are expected to be foliated type-I fracton codes [2; Eqs. (D42-D43)].
Hurwitz surface code Homological code constructed on triangulations of Hurwitz surfaces.
Hyperbolic color code An extension of the color code construction to hyperbolic manifolds. As opposed to there being only three types of uniform three-valent and three-colorable lattice tilings in the 2D Euclidean plane, there is an infinite number of admissible hyperbolic tilings in the 2D hyperbolic plane [47]. Certain double covers of hyperbolic tilings also yield admissible tilings [48]. Other admissible hyperbolic tilings can be obtained via a fattening procedure [49]; see also a construction based on the more general quantum pin codes [50].
Hyperbolic surface code An extension of the Kitaev surface code construction to hyperbolic manifolds. Given a cellulation of a manifold, qubits are put on \(i\)-dimensional faces, \(X\)-type stabilizers are associated with \((i-1)\)-faces, while \(Z\)-type stabilizers are associated with \(i+1\)-faces.
Hypergraph product (HGP) code A member of a family of CSS codes whose stabilizer generator matrix is obtained from a hypergraph product of two classical linear binary codes. Codes from hypergraph products in higher dimension are called higher-dimensional HGP codes [51].
Hypersphere product code Homological code based on products of hyperspheres. The hypersphere product code family has asymptotically diminishing soundness that scales as order \(O(1/\log (n)^2)\), locality of stabilizer generators scaling as order \(O(\log n/ \log\log n)\), and distance of order \(\Theta(\sqrt{n})\).
Integer-homology bosonic CSS code A bosonic stabilizer code whose physical modes have been restricted, via a single GKP stabilizer, from the space of functions on the real line to the space of periodic functions. This restriction effectively realizes a rotor on each physical mode, allowing one to construct homological rotor codes out of displacement stabilizer groups. The stabilizer group is continuous, but contains discrete components in the form of the single-mode GKP stabilizers. The homology group of the logical operators has a torsion component because the chain complexes are defined over the ring of integers, which yields codes with finite logical dimension.
Kitaev current-mirror qubit code Member of the family of \([[2n,(0,2),(2,n)]]_{\mathbb{Z}}\) homological rotor codes storing a logical qubit on a thin Möbius strip. The ideal code can be obtained from a Josephson-junction [52] system [53].
Kitaev surface code A family of Abelian topological CSS stabilizer codes whose generators are few-body \(X\)-type and \(Z\)-type Pauli strings associated to the stars and plaquettes, respectively, of a cellulation of a two-dimensional surface (with a qubit located at each edge of the cellulation). Codewords correspond to ground states of the surface code Hamiltonian, and error operators create or annihilate pairs of anyonic charges or vortices.
Klein-bottle surface code A family of Kitaev surface codes on the non-orientable Klein bottle.
La-cross code Code constructed using a hypergraph product of two copies of a cyclic LDPC code. The construction uses cyclic LDPC codes with generating polynomials \(1+x+x^k\) for some \(k\). Using a length-\(n\) seed code yields an \([[2n^2,2k^2]]\) family for periodic boundary conditions and an \([[(n-k)^2+n^2,k^2]]\) family for open boundary conditions.
Lattice stabilizer code A geometrically local stabilizer code with sites organized on a lattice modeled by the additive group \(\mathbb{Z}^D\) for spatial dimension \(D\). On an infinite lattice, its stabilizer group is generated by few-site Pauli-type operators and their translations, in which case the code is called translationally invariant stabilizer code. Boundary conditions have to be imposed on the lattice in order to obtain finite-dimensional versions. Lattice defects and boundaries between different codes can also be introduced.
Layer code Member of a family of 3D lattice CSS codes with stabilizer generator weights \(\leq 6\) that are obtained by coupling layers of 2D surface code according to the Tanner graph of a QLDPC code. Geometric locality is maintained because, instead of being concatenated, each pair of parallel surface-code squares are fused (or quasi-concatenated) with perpendicular surface-code squares via lattice surgery.
Lift-connected surface (LCS) code Member of one of several families of lifted-product codes that consist of sparsely interconnected stacks of surface codes.
Lifted-product (LP) code Galois-qudit code that utilizes the notion of a lifted product in its construction. Lifted products of certain classical Tanner codes are the first (asymptotically) good QLDPC codes.
Log-depth geometrically local Clifford-circuit code A random \([[n,k]]\) stabilizer code whose encoder is a random Clifford circuit of depth of order \(O(\log n)\) on a 1D Euclidean geometry.
Long-range enhanced surface code (LRESC) Code constructed using a hypergraph product of two copies of a concatenated LDPC-repetition seed code. This family interpolates between surface codes and hypergraph codes since the hypergraph product of two repetition codes yields the planar surface code. The construction uses small \([3,2,2]\) and \([6,2,4]\) LDPC codes concatenated with \([4,1,4]\) and \([2,1,2]\) repetition codes, respectively. An example using a \([5,2,3]\) code is also presented.
Loop toric code A generalization of the Kitaev surface code defined on a 4D lattice. The code is called a \((2,2)\) toric code because it admits 2D membrane \(Z\)-type and \(X\)-type logical operators. Both types of operators create 1D (i.e., loop) excitations at their edges. The code serves as a self-correcting quantum memory [54,55].
Lossless expander balanced-product code QLDPC code constructed by taking the balanced product of lossless expander graphs. Using one part of a quantum-code chain complex constructed with one-sided loss expanders [56] yields a \(c^3\)-LTC [57]. Using two-sided expanders, which are only conjectured to exist, yields an asymptotically good QLDPC code family [58].
Majorana checkerboard code A Majorana analogue of the X-cube model defined on a cubic lattice. The code admits weight-eight Majorana stabilizer generators on the eight vertices of each cube of a checkerboard sublattice.
Matching code Member of a class of qubit stabilizer codes based on the Abelian phase of the Kitaev honeycomb model.
Modular-qudit color code Extension of the color code to lattices of modular qudits. Codes are defined analogous to qubit color codes on suitable lattices of any spatial dimension, but a directionality is required in order to make the modular-qudit stabilizer commute. This can be done by puncturing a hyperspherical lattice [59] or constructing a star-bipartition; see [60; Sec. III]. Logical dimension is determined by the genus of the underlying surface (for closed surfaces), types of boundaries (for open surfaces), and/or any twist defects present.
Modular-qudit surface code Extension of the surface code to prime-dimensional [61,62] and more general modular qudits [63]. Stabilizer generators are few-body \(X\)-type and \(Z\)-type Pauli strings associated to the stars and plaquettes, respectively, of a tessellation of a two-dimensional surface. Since qudits have more than one \(X\) and \(Z\)-type operator, various sets of stabilizer generators can be defined. Ground-state degeneracy and the associated phase depends on the qudit dimension and the stabilizer generators.
Projective-plane surface code A family of Kitaev surface codes on the non-orientable 2-dimensional compact manifold \(\mathbb{R}P^2\) (in contrast to a genus-\(g\) surface). Whereas genus-\(g\) surface codes require \(2g\) logical qubits, qubit codes on \(\mathbb{R}P^2\) are made from a single logical qubit.
Quantum LDPC (QLDPC) code Member of a family of \([[n,k,d]]\) stabilizer codes for which the number of sites participating in each stabilizer generator and the number of stabilizer generators that each site participates in are both bounded by a constant \(w\) as \(n\to\infty\). The code can be denoted by \([[n,k,d,w]]\) or, for \(q\)-dimensional Galois-qudit QLDPC codes, \([[n,k,d]]_{(w,q)}\). Sometimes, the two parameters are explicitly stated: each site of an an \((l,w)\)-regular QLDPC code is acted on by \(\leq l\) generators of weight \(\leq w\). For finite size codes, the notation QLDPC codes can correct many stochastic errors far beyond the distance, which may not scale as favorably. Together with more accurate, faster, and easier-to-parallelize measurements than those of general stabilizer codes, this property makes QLDPC codes interesting in practice.
Quantum Reed-Muller (RM) code A CSS code formed from a classical RM code or its punctured/shortened versions. Such codes often admit transversal logical gates in the Clifford hierarchy.
Quantum Tanner code Member of a family of QLDPC codes based on two compatible classical Tanner codes defined on a two-dimensional Cayley complex, a complex constructed from Cayley graphs of groups. For certain choices of codes and complex, the resulting codes have asymptotically good parameters. See Ref. [64] for explicit instances based on dihedral groups. This construction has been generalized to Schreier graphs [65].
Quantum check-product code CSS code constructed from an extension of check product (between two classical codes) to a product between a classical and a quantum code.
Quantum convolutional code One-dimensional translationally invariant qubit stabilizer code whose whose stabilizer group can be partitioned into constant-size subsets of constant support and of constant overlap between neighboring sets. Initially formulated as a quantum analogue of convolutional codes, which were designed to protect a continuous and never-ending stream of information. Precise formulations sometimes begin with a finite-dimensional lattice, with the intent to take the thermodynamic limit; logical dimension can be infinite as well.
Quantum expander code CSS code constructed from a hypergraph product of bipartite expander graphs [25] with bounded left and right vertex degrees. For every bipartite graph there is an associated matrix (the parity check matrix) with columns indexed by the left vertices, rows indexed by the right vertices, and 1 entries whenever a left and right vertex are connected. This matrix can serve as the parity check matrix of a classical code. Two bipartite expander graphs can be used to construct a quantum CSS code (the quantum expander code) by using the parity check matrix of one as \(X\) checks, and the parity check matrix of the other as \(Z\) checks.
Quantum irregular convolutional code (QIRCC) Quantum convolutional code whose stabilizer group consists of different constant-size subsets.
Quantum multi-dimensional parity-check (QMDPC) code High-rate low-distance CSS code whose qubits lie on a \(D\)-dimensional rectangle, with \(X\)-type stabilizer generators defined on each \(D-1\)-dimensional rectangle. The \(Z\)-type stabilizer generators are defined via permutations in order to commute with the \(X\)-type generators.
Quantum pin code Member of a family of CSS codes that encompasses both quantum RM and color codes and that is defined using intersections of pinned sets.
Quantum rainbow code A CSS code whose qubits are associated with vertices of a simplex graph with \(m+1\) colors.
Quantum spatially coupled (SC-QLDPC) code QLDPC code whose stabilizer generator matrix resembles the parity-check matrix of SC-LDPC codes. There exist CSS [66] and stabilizer constructions [67]. In either case, the stabilizer generator matrix is constructed by "spatially" coupling sub-matrix blocks in chain-like fashion (or, more generally, in grid-like fashion) to yield a band matrix. The sub-matrix blocks have to satisfy certain conditions amongst themselves so that the resulting band matrix is a stabilizer generator matrix. Matrices corresponding to translationally invariant chains are called time-variant, and otherwise are called time-invariant.
Quantum turbo code A quantum version of the turbo code, obtained from an interleaved serial quantum concatenation [68; Def. 30] of quantum convolutional codes.
Quasi-cyclic QLDPC (QC-QLDPC) code A QLDPC code such that cyclic shifts of the subsystems by \(\ell\geq 1\) leave the codespace invariant. Such codes have circulant stabilizer generator matrices [69,70].
Quasi-hyperbolic color code An extension of the color code construction to quasi-hyperbolic manifolds, e.g., a product of a 2D hyperbolic surface and a circle.
Qudit 3D surface code A generalization of the 3D surface code to modular qudits.
Qudit X-cube model code Generalization of the X-cube model code to modular qudits.
Qudit cubic code Generalization of the Haah cubic code to modular qudits.
Raussendorf-Bravyi-Harrington (RBH) cluster-state code A three-dimensional cluster-state code defined on the bcc lattice (i.e., a cubic lattice with qubits on edges and faces).
Rotated surface code Variant of the surface code defined on a square lattice that has been rotated 45 degrees such that qubits are on vertices, and both \(X\)- and \(Z\)-type check operators occupy plaquettes in an alternating checkerboard pattern.
Sierpinski prism model code A fractal type-I fracton CSS code defined on a cubic lattice [2; Eq. (D22)]. The code admits an excitation-moving operator shaped like a Sierpinski triangle [2; Fig. 2].
Square homological product code Homological product code whose underlying quantum-code boundary operators are square matrices (see Qubit CSS-to-homology correspondence).
Square-lattice cluster-state code A code based on the cluster state on a square lattice that was used in the the first proposal for MBQC [71,72].
Square-octagon (4.8.8) color code 2D color code defined on a patch of the 4.8.8 (square-octagon) tiling, which itself is obtained by applying a fattening procedure to the square lattice [49].
Stellated color code A non-CSS color code on a lattice patch with a single twist defect at the center of the patch.
Tensor-product HDX code Code constructed in a similar way as the HDX code, but utilizing tensor products of multiple Ramanujan complexes and then applying distance balancing. These improve the asymptotic code distance over the HDX codes from \(\sqrt{n}\log n\) to \(\sqrt{n}~\text{polylog}(n)\). The utility of such tensor products comes from the fact that one of the Ramanujan complexes is a collective cosystolic expander as opposed to just a cosystolic expander.
Tetrahedral color code 3D color code defined on select tetrahedra of a 3D tiling. Qubits are placed on the vertices, edges, triangles, and in the center of each tetrahedron. The code has both string-like and sheet-like logical operators [73].
Three-fermion (3F) Walker-Wang model code A 3D lattice stabilizer code whose low-energy excitations on boundaries realize a 3D time-reversal SPT order [74] and that can be used as a resource state for fault-tolerant MBQC [75]. The anyons at the boundary of the lattice are described by the 3F anyon theory.
Toric code Version of the Kitaev surface code on the two-dimensional torus, encoding two logical qubits. Being the first manifestation of the surface code, "toric code" is often an alternative name for the general construction. Twisted toric code [76; Fig. 8] refers to the construction on a torus with twisted (a.k.a. shifted) boundary conditions.
Transverse-field Ising model (TFIM) code A 1D translationally invariant stabilizer code whose encoding is a constant-depth circuit of nearest-neighbor gates on alternating even and odd bonds that consist of transverse-field Ising Hamiltonian interactions. The code allows for perfect state transfer of arbitrary distance using local operations and classical communications (LOCC).
Triangular surface code A surface code with weight-four stabilizer generators defined on a honeycomb tiling that are examples of twist-defect surface code with a single twist defect at the center of the patch. The codes use about \(25\%\) fewer physical per logical qubit for a given distance compared to the surface code.
Truncated trihexagonal (4.6.12) color code 2D color code defined on a patch of the 4.6.12 (truncated trihexagonal or square-hexagon-dodecagon) tiling.
Twist-defect color code A non-CSS extension of the 2D color code whose non-CSS stabilizer generators are associated with twist defects of the associated lattice.
Twist-defect surface code A non-CSS extension of the 2D surface-code construction whose non-CSS stabilizer generators are associated with twist defects of the associated lattice. A related construction [77] doubles the number of qubits in the lattice via symplectic doubling.
Twisted XZZX toric code A cyclic code that can be thought of as the XZZX toric code with shifted (a.k.a twisted) boundary conditions. Admits a set of stabilizer generators that are cyclic shifts of a particular weight-four \(XZZX\) Pauli string. For example, a seven-qubit \([[7,1,3]]\) variant has stabilizers generated by cyclic shifts of \(XZIZXII\) [78]. Codes encode either one or two logical qubits, depending on qubit geometry, and perform well against biased noise [79]. See Ref. [77] for a table of some of these for small instances, where they are called genus-one genon codes.
Two-block group-algebra (2BGA) codes 2BGA codes are the smallest LP codes LP\((a,b)\), constructed from a pair of group algebra elements \(a,b\in \mathbb{F}_q[G]\), where \(G\) is a finite group, and \(\mathbb{F}_q\) is a Galois field. For a group of order \(\ell\), we get a 2BGA code of length \(n=2\ell\). A 2BGA code for an Abelian group is called an Abelian 2BGA code. A construction of such codes in terms of Kronecker products of circulant matrices was introduced in [80].
Two-foliated fracton code A type-I fracton code obtained by gauging [6–15] a topological phase with subsystem symmetry.
Type-II fractal spin-liquid code A type-II fracton prime-qudit CSS code defined on a cubic lattice [2; Eqs. (D9-D10)].
Union-Jack color code 2D color code defined on a patch of the Tetrakis square tiling (a.k.a. the Union Jack lattice).
X-cube model code A foliated type-I fracton code supporting a subextensive number of logical qubits. Variants include several generalized X-cube models [81]. A non-stabilizer commuting-projector code constructed by stacking layers of the double-semion string-net model, called the semionic X-cube model [82], is equivalent to the X-cube model [83] (see also Refs. [84,85]).
XY surface code Non-CSS derivative of the surface code whose generators are \(XXXX\) and \(YYYY\), obtained by mapping \(Z \to Y\) in the surface code.
XYZ color code Non-CSS variant of the 6.6.6 color code whose generators are \(XZXZXZ\) and \(ZYZYZY\) Pauli strings associated to each hexagonal in the hexagonal (6.6.6) tiling. A further variation called the domain wall color code admits generators of the form \(XXXZZZ\) and \(ZZZXXX\) [86].
XYZ product code A non-CSS QLDPC code constructed from a particular hypergraph product of three linear binary codes. The idea is that rather than taking a product of only two classical codes to produce a CSS code, a third classical code is considered, acting with Pauli-\(Y\) operators. When the underlying classical codes are 1D (e.g., repetition codes), the XYZ product yields a 3D code. Higher dimensional versions have been constructed [87].
XYZ\(^2\) hexagonal stabilizer code An instance of the matching code based on the Kitaev honeycomb model. It is described on a honeycomb tiling with \(XYZXYZ\) stabilizers on each hexagonal plaquette. Each vertical pair of qubits has an \(XX\), \(YY\), or \(ZZ\) link stabilizer depending on the orientation of the plaquette stabilizers.
XZZX surface code Non-CSS variant of the rotated surface code whose generators are \(XZZX\) Pauli strings associated, clock-wise, to the vertices of each face of a two-dimensional lattice (with a qubit located at each vertex of the tessellation).
Yoked surface code Member of a family of \([[n,k,d]]\) qubit CSS codes resulting from a concatenation of a QMDPC code with a rotated surface code. Concatenation does not impose additional connectivity constraints and can as much as triple the number of logical qubits per physical qubit when compared to the original surface code. Concatenation with 1D (2D) QMDPC yields codes with twice (four times) the distance. The stabilizer generators of the outer QMDPC code are referred to as yokes in this context.
\((1,3)\) 4D toric code A generalization of the Kitaev surface code defined on a 4D lattice. The code is called a \((1,3)\) toric code because it admits 1D \(Z\)-type and 3D \(X\)-type logical operators.
\((5,1,2)\)-convolutional code Family of quantum convolutional codes that are 1D lattice generalizations of the five-qubit perfect code, with the former''s lattice-translation symmetry being the extension of the latter''s cyclic permutation symmetry.
\(D\)-dimensional twisted toric code Extension of the Kitaev toric code to higher-dimensional lattices with regular or shifted (a.k.a. twisted) boundary conditions. Such boundary conditions yields quibit geometries that are tori \(\mathbb{R}^D/\Lambda\), where \(\Lambda\) is an arbitrary \(D\)-dimensional lattice. Picking a hypercubic lattice yields the ordinary \(D\)-dimensional toric code. It is conjectured that appropriate twisted boundary conditions yield multi-dimensional toric code families with linear distance and logarithmic-weight stabilizer generators [88,89]. At finite \(n\), twisting boundary conditions can reduce qubit overhead for a fixed distance [89].
\(U(1)_{2n} \times U(1)_{-2m}\) Chern-Simons GKP code A non-CSS multimode GKP code defined on a 2D mode lattice that encodes a qudit logical space and whose excitations are characterized by the \(U(1)_{2n} \times U(1)_{-2m}\) Chern-Simons theory. The code can be obtained from the analog surface code by condensing certain anyons [21].
\([[13,1,5]]\) cyclic code Thirteen-qubit twisted surface code for which there is a set of stabilizer generators consisting of cyclic permutations of the \(XZZX\)-type Pauli string \(XIZZIXIIIIIII\). The code can be thought of as a small twisted XZZX code [90; Exam. 11 and Fig. 3].
\([[14,3,3]]\) Rhombic dodecahedron surface code A \([[14,3,3]]\) twist-defect surface code whose qubits lie on the vertices of a rhombic dodecahedron. Its non-CSS nature is due to twist defects [91] stemming from the geometry of the polytope.
\([[144,12,12]]\) gross code A BB code which requires less physical and ancilla qubits (for syndrome extraction) than the surface code with the same number of logical qubits and distance. The gross code is equivalent to 8 copies of the surface code via a constant-depth Clifford circuit, and is an element of a larger family of 2D stabilizer codes [92]. The name stems from the fact that a gross is a dozen dozen.
\([[15, 7, 3]]\) quantum Hamming code Self-dual quantum Hamming code that admits permutation-based CZ logical gates. The code is constructed using the CSS construction from the \([15,11,3]\) Hamming code and its \([15,4,8]\) dual code.
\([[15,1,3]]\) quantum RM code A \([[15,1,3]]\) quantum Reed-Muller code that is most easily thought of as a tetrahedral 3D color code.
\([[16,6,4]]\) Tesseract color code A (self-dual CSS) 4D color code defined on a tesseract, with stabilizer generators of both types supported on each cube. A \([[16,4,2,4]]\) tesseract subsystem code can be obtained from this code by using two logical qubits as gauge qubits [93].
\([[17,1,5]]\) 4.8.8 color code Seventeen-qubit doubly even 2D color code that admits a transversal implementation of the logical Clifford group.
\([[2^D,D,2]]\) hypercube quantum code Member of a family of codes defined by placing qubits on a \(D\)-dimensional hypercube, \(Z\)-stabilizers on all two-dimensional faces, and an \(X\)-stabilizer on all vertices. These codes realize gates at the \((D-1)\)-st level of the Clifford hierarchy. It can be generalized to a \([[4^D,D,4]]\) error-correcting family [94]. Various other concatenations give families with increasing distance (see cousins).
\([[2^r-1, 2^r-2r-1, 3]]\) quantum Hamming code Member of a family of self-dual CCS codes constructed from \([2^r-1,2^r-r-1,3]=C_X=C_Z\) Hamming codes and their duals the simplex codes. The code's stabilizer generator matrix blocks \(H_{X}\) and \(H_{Z}\) are both the generator matrix for a simplex code. The weight of each stabilizer generator is \(2^{r-1}\).
\([[2^r-1,1,3]]\) simplex code Member of color-code code family constructed with a punctured first-order RM\((1,m=r)\) \([2^r-1,r+1,2^{r-1}-1]\) code and its even subcode for \(r \geq 3\). Each code transversally implements a diagonal gate at the \((r-1)\)st level of the Clifford hierarchy [95,96]. Each code is a color code defined on a simplex in \(r-1\) dimensions [59,97], where qubits are placed on the vertices, edges, and faces as well as on the simplex itself.
\([[2^{2r-1}-1,1,2^r-1]]\) quantum punctured RM code A quantum Reed-Muller code constructed with a punctured self-dual RM \([2^r-1,2^{r-1},\sqrt{2}^{r-1}-1]\) code and its even subcode for \(r \geq 2\).
\([[2m,2m-2,2]]\) error-detecting code Self-complementary CSS code for \(m\geq 2\) with generators \(\{XX\cdots X, ZZ\cdots Z\} \) acting on all \(2m\) physical qubits. The code is constructed via the CSS construction from an SPC code and a repetition code [98; Sec. III]. This is the highest-rate distance-two code when an even number of qubits is used [99].
\([[30,8,3]]\) Bring code A \([[30,8,3]]\) hyperbolic surface code on a quotient of the \(\{5,5\}\) hyperbolic tiling called Bring's curve. Its qubits and stabilizer generators lie on the vertices of the small stellated dodecahedron. Admits a set of weight-five stabilizer generators.
\([[4,2,2]]\) Four-qubit code Four-qubit CSS stabilizer code is the smallest qubit stabilizer code to detect a single-qubit error.
\([[5,1,2]]\) rotated surface code Rotated surface code on one rung of a ladder, with one qubit on the rung, and four qubits surrounding it.
\([[5,1,3]]\) Five-qubit perfect code Five-qubit cyclic stabilizer code that is the smallest qubit stabilizer code to correct a single-qubit error.
\([[6,4,2]]\) error-detecting code Error-detecting six-qubit code with rate \(2/3\) whose codewords are cat/GHZ states. A set of stabilizer generators is \(XXXXXX\) and \(ZZZZZZ\). It is the unique code for its parameters, up to equivalence [99; Tab. III]. Concatenations of this code with itself yield the \([[6^r,4^r,2^r]]\) level-\(r\) many-hypercube code [100].
\([[7,1,3]]\) Steane code A \([[7,1,3]]\) self-dual CSS code that is the smallest qubit CSS code to correct a single-qubit error [101]. The code is constructed using the classical binary \([7,4,3]\) Hamming code for protecting against both \(X\) and \(Z\) errors.
\([[7,1,3]]\) twist-defect surface code A \([[7,1,3]]\) code (different from the Steane code) that is a small example of a twist-defect surface code.
\([[8,2,2]]\) hyperbolic color code An \([[8,2,2]]\) hyperbolic color code defined on the projective plane.
\([[8,3,2]]\) Smallest interesting color code Smallest 3D color code whose physical qubits lie on vertices of a cube and which admits a (weakly) transversal \(CCZ\) gate.
\([[8,3,2]]\) Surface code on a cube An \([[8,3,2]]\) twist-defect surface code whose qubits lie on the vertices of a cube. It is obtained by three-coloring the faces of a cube and placing \(X\), \(Y\), and \(Z\) stabilizer generators on each pair of faces of the same color. Its non-CSS nature is due to twist defects [91] stemming from the geometry of the polytope.
\([[9,1,3]]\) Shor code Nine-qubit CSS code that is the first quantum error-correcting code.
\([[9,1,3]]\) Surface-17 code A \([[9,1,3]]\) rotated surface code named for the sum of its 9 data qubits and 8 syndrome qubits. It uses the smallest number of qubits to perform fault-tolerant error correction on a surface code with parallel syndrome extraction.
\([[9,1,3]]_{\mathbb{Z}_q}\) modular-qudit code Modular-qudit CSS code that generalizes the \([[9,1,3]]\) Shor code using properties of the multiplicative group \(\mathbb{Z}_q\).
