• Title: Spatially-Coupled QDLPC Codes
• Authors: Siyi Yang, Robert Calderbank
• Abstract summary: We describe toric codes as quantum counterparts of classical spatially-coupled (2D-SC) codes. We introduce spatially-coupled quantum LDPC (SC-QLDPC) codes as a class of convolutional LDPC codes. This paper focuses on QLDPC codes with rate less than 1/10, but we construct 2D-SC HGP codes with small memories, higher rates (about 1/3), and superior thresholds.

• Abstract: Spatially-coupled (SC) codes is a class of convolutional LDPC codes that has been well investigated in classical coding theory thanks to their high performance and compatibility with low-latency decoders. We describe toric codes as quantum counterparts of classical two-dimensional spatially-coupled (2D-SC) codes, and introduce spatially-coupled quantum LDPC (SC-QLDPC) codes as a generalization. We use the convolutional structure to represent the parity check matrix of a 2D-SC code as a polynomial in two indeterminates, and derive an algebraic condition that is both necessary and sufficient for a 2D-SC code to be a stabilizer code. This algebraic framework facilitates the construction of new code families. While not the focus of this paper, we note that small memory facilitates physical connectivity of qubits, and it enables local encoding and low-latency windowed decoding. In this paper, we use the algebraic framework to optimize short cycles in the Tanner graph of 2D-SC hypergraph product (HGP) codes that arise from short cycles in either component code. While prior work focuses on QLDPC codes with rate less than 1/10, we construct 2D-SC HGP codes with small memories, higher rates (about 1/3), and superior thresholds.

  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.

  Constant-rate low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are promising candidates for constructing efficient fault-tolerant quantum memories. We construct a new family of hierarchical codes, that encode a number of logical qubits K = Omega(N/log(N)2. Under conservative assumptions, we find that the hierarchical code outperforms the basic encoding where all logical qubits are encoded in the surface code.

  We show that trellis decoders have strong structure, extend the results using classical coding theory as a guide, and demonstrate a canonical form from which the structural properties of the decoding graph may be computed. The modified decoder works for any stabilizer code $S$ and separates into two parts: a one-time, offline which builds a compact, graphical representation of the normalizer of the code, $Sperp$, and a quick, parallel, online computation using the Viterbi algorithm.
