We first present a useful characterization of additive (stabilizer) quantum error-correcting codes. Then we present several examples of We first present a useful characterization of additive (stabilizer) quantum error--correcting codes. Then we present several examples of nonadditive codes. We show that there exist infinitely many non-trivial nonadditive codes with different minimum distances, and high rates. In fact, we show that nonadditive codes that correct t errors can reach the asymptotic rate R=1-2H(2t/n), where H(x) is the binary entropy function. Finally, we introduce the notion of strongly nonadditive codes (i.e., quantum codes with the following property: the trivial code consisting of the entire Hilbert space is the only additive code that is equivalent to any code containing the given code), and provide a construction for an ((11,2,3)) strongly nonadditive code.

  1. Transversal Gates in Nonadditive Quantum Codes

    quant-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    New nonadditive ((7,2,3)) and ((8,2,3)) codes are claimed to support transversal T, sqrt(T), and T^(1/4) gates, improving on the previous smallest examples.
