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 .

  1. Viewing protected superconducting qubits through the lens of the cat qubit

    quant-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Fluxonium's heavy-limit ground states are squeezed coherent states, producing exponential bit-flip protection in E_j/(k_B T) with constant phase-flip rate, analogous to a squeezed cat code.

  2. Transversal Gates for Highly Asymmetric qLDPC Codes

    quant-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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(...

  3. Multivariate Multicycle Codes for Complete Single-Shot Decoding

    quant-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Koszul complexes built from four polynomial generators over cyclic group rings yield CSS codes with both X and Z metachecks, giving small, high-confinement, single-shot-decodable quantum codes.
