• Title: Union-Find Decoders For Homological Product Codes
• Authors: Nicolas Delfosse and Matthew B. Hastings
• Abstract summary: Homological product codes are a class of codes that can have improved distance while retaining relatively low stabilizer weight. We show how to build union-find decoders for these codes, using a union-find decoder for one of the codes in the product and a brute force decoder for the other code.

• Abstract: Homological product codes are a class of codes that can have improved distance while retaining relatively low stabilizer weight. We show how to build union-find decoders for these codes, using a union-find decoder for one of the codes in the product and a brute force decoder for the other code. We apply this construction to the specific case of the product of a surface code with a small code such as a $[[4,2,2]]$ code, which we call an augmented surface code. The distance of the augmented surface code is the product of the distance of the surface code with that of the small code, and the union-find decoder, with slight modifications, can decode errors up to half the distance. We present numerical simulations, showing that while the threshold of these augmented codes is lower than that of the surface code, the low noise performance is improved.

  Quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes are an important component in the quest for fault tolerance. Recent progress on qLDPC codes has led to constructions which are quantumally good, and which admit linear-time decoders to correct errors affecting a constant fraction of codeword qubits. In practice, the surface/toric codes, which are the product of two repetition codes, are still often the qLDPC codes of choice.

  We use the recently introduced lifted product to construct a family of Quantum Low Density Parity Check Codes (QLDPC codes) The codes we obtain can be viewed as stacks of surface codes that are interconnected, leading to the name lift-connected surface (LCS) codes. For example, already at moderate numbers of physical qubits in the order of tens, LCS codes of equal size have lower logical error rate or similarly, require fewer qubits for a fixed target logical error rate.

  We propose a new baseline SEA (Split, Encode and Aggregate) for long code search. It splits long code into code blocks, encodes these blocks into embeddings, and aggregates them to obtain a comprehensive long code representation. With GraphCodeBERT as the encoder, SEA achieves an overall mean reciprocal ranking score of 0.785, which is 10.1% higher than GraphCodeBERT on the CodeSearchNet benchmark.

  Hypergraph product codes are constant-rate quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes equipped with a linear-time decoder called small-set-flip (SSF) This decoder displays sub-optimal performance in practice and requires very large error correcting codes to be effective. We present new hybrid decoders that combine the belief propagation (BP) algorithm with the SSF decoder.
