• Abstract: Floquet codes are a recently discovered type of quantum error correction code. They can be thought of as generalising stabilizer codes and subsystem codes, by allowing the logical Pauli operators of the code to vary dynamically over time. In this work, we use the ZX-calculus to create new Floquet codes that are in a definable sense equivalent to known stabilizer codes. In particular, we find a Floquet code that is equivalent to the colour code, but has the advantage that all measurements required to implement it are of weight one or two. Notably, the qubits can even be laid out on a square lattice. This circumvents current difficulties with implementing the colour code fault-tolerantly, while preserving its advantages over other well-studied codes, and could furthermore allow one to benefit from extra features exclusive to Floquet codes. On a higher level, as in arXiv:2303.08829, this work shines a light on the relationship between 'static' stabilizer and subsystem codes and 'dynamic' Floquet codes; at first glance the latter seems a significant generalisation of the former, but in the case of the codes that we find here, the difference is essentially just a few basic ZX-diagram deformations.

  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.

• Simple Construction of Qudit Floquet Codes on a Family of Lattices [0.0]
  We propose a simple, yet general construction of qudit Floquet codes based on a simple set of conditions on the sequence two-body measurements defining the code. We show that this construction includes the existing constructions of both qubit and qudit Floquet codes as special cases. In addition, any qudit Floquet code obtained by our construction achieves a rate of encoded logical qudits over physical qudits approaching $frac12$ as the number of physical qudits in total and on the faces of the lattice grows larger.

  Quantum error correction codes in continuous variables (also called CV codes, or single-mode bosonic codes) have been identified to be a technologically viable option for building fault-tolerant quantum computers. Best-known examples are the GKP code and the cat-code, both of which were shown to have some advantageous properties over any discrete-variable, or qubit codes. It was recently shown that the cat-code, as well as other kinds of CV codes, belong to a set of codes with common properties called rotation-symmetric codes.

  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.
