• Authors: Yijia Xu, Yixu Wang, Christophe Vuillot, Victor V. Albert,
• Abstract summary: Cat codes are encodings into a single photonic or phononic mode that offer a promising avenue for hardware-efficient fault-tolerant quantum computation. We construct multimode codes with similar linear constraints using any two integer matrices satisfying the homological condition of a quantum rotor code. Just like the pair-cat code, syndrome extraction can be performed in tandem with stabilizing dissipation using current superconducting-circuit designs.

• Abstract: Continuous-variable cat codes are encodings into a single photonic or phononic mode that offer a promising avenue for hardware-efficient fault-tolerant quantum computation. Protecting information in a cat code requires measuring the mode's occupation number modulo two, but this can be relaxed to a linear occupation-number constraint using the alternative two-mode pair-cat encoding. We construct multimode codes with similar linear constraints using any two integer matrices satisfying the homological condition of a quantum rotor code. Just like the pair-cat code, syndrome extraction can be performed in tandem with stabilizing dissipation using current superconducting-circuit designs. The framework includes codes with various finite- or infinite-dimensional codespaces, and codes with finite or infinite Fock-state support. It encompasses two-component cat, pair-cat, dual-rail, two-mode binomial, various bosonic repetition codes, and aspects of chi-squared encodings while also yielding codes from homological products, lattices, generalized coherent states, and algebraic varieties. Among our examples are analogues of repetition codes, the Shor code, and a surface-like code that is not a concatenation of a known cat code with the qubit surface code. Codewords are coherent states projected into a Fock-state subspace defined by an integer matrix, and their overlaps are governed by Gelfand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky hypergeometric functions.

  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 present Safe Surgery by Identifying Pushouts (SSIP), an open-source lightweight Python package for automating surgery between qubit CSS codes. Under the hood, it performs linear algebra over $mathbbF$ governed by universal constructions in the category of chain complexes. We show that various logical measurements can be performed cheaply by surgery without sacrificing the high code distance.

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.

  We show that the problem of calculating the $c-disjointness, or even approximating it to within a constant multiplicative factor, is NP-complete. We provide bounds on the disjointness for various code families, including the CSS codes,$d codes and hypergraph codes. Our results indicate that finding fault-tolerant logical gates for generic quantum error-correcting codes is a computationally challenging task.

  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.
