• Abstract: Holography is a central concept at the intersection of gravity, condensed matter theory, and quantum information, linking the interior bulk of a system to its boundary. A model realizing key features of holographic systems is the holographic pentagon code by Pastawski et al. Here we experimentally implement instances of the holographic pentagon and heptagon codes with trapped ions and test their properties: For the pentagon code, we recover logical bulk qubits from their nearby boundary and test the Ryu-Takayanagi entanglement area law. For the heptagon code, we show that the transversal Hadamard gate native to the constituent Steane codes induces a single-qubit, correctable error in the holographic code. Our implementation paves the way towards the use of holographic quantum codes for quantum information processing.

  Holographic codes are subsystem codes derived from holographic bulk/boundary dualities. This package constructs holographic codes on regular hyperbolics and generates their stabilizer generators and logical operators. Three decoders are included: an erasure decoder based on Gaussian elimination; an integer-optimization decoder; and a tensor-network decoder.
