abstract

We analyze the performance of decoders for the 2D and 4D toric code which are local by construction. The 2D decoder is a cellular automaton decoder formulated by Harrington which explicitly has a finite speed of communication and computation. For a model of independent $X$ and $Z$ errors and faulty syndrome measurements with identical probability we report a threshold of $0.133\%$ for this Harrington decoder. We implement a decoder for the 4D toric code which is based on a decoder by Hastings arXiv:1312.2546 . Incorporating a method for handling faulty syndromes we estimate a threshold of $1.59\%$ for the same noise model as in the 2D case. We compare the performance of this decoder with a decoder based on a 4D version of Toom's cellular automaton rule as well as the decoding method suggested by Dennis et al. arXiv:quant-ph/0110143 .

Transversal Gates for Highly Asymmetric qLDPC Codes

quant-ph · 2025-06-18 · conditional · novelty 6.0

First qLDPC code constructions with transversal non-Clifford phase gates, obtained by embedding a local code with the desired transversal gate into a Tanner-based hypergraph or balanced product code, at the cost of O(1) Z-distance.
