TL;DR

This work provides an explicit characterization in terms of the defining cyclotomic sets, which extends existing results for cyclic codes and allows the construction of new and longer CSS-T codes.

Abstract

CSS-T codes are quantum error-correcting codes that play an important role in fault-tolerant quantum computation, as they help mitigate the proliferation of errors. They admit a transversal T-gate and are defined from a pair of nested classical binary linear codes satisfying a specific algebraic condition expressed in terms of their Schur square. We extend this algebraic characterization to the propagation rule known as the $(u \mid u+v)$-construction, that is, the matrix-product code constructed from two constituent codes. Moreover, for cyclic constituent codes, we provide an explicit characterization in terms of the defining cyclotomic sets, which extends existing results for cyclic codes. This framework allows the construction of new and longer CSS-T codes.

Asymptotically Good Quantum Codes with Addressable Transversal T Gates

Designing quantum codes with both transversal non-Clifford gates and good error-correcting parameters is an important goal in fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here, we construct an explicit family of binary CSS codes with constant rate and linear distance that admit fully addressable transversal $T$ gates. Specifica...

Good Quantum Locally Testable Codes from Product Expansion

We construct quantum locally testable codes (LTCs) with constant rate, distance, soundness and locality under a variant of a product expansion conjecture of Bafna and Vyas about Reed-Solomon codes. In particular, we use the high-dimensional expansion framework of Dinur, Lin and Vidick for constructing quantum LTCs, ins...

Non-Abelian sheaf quantum LDPC codes: good and magical

Non-Abelian quantum codes connect quantum error correction, phases of matter, and computational resources. In this work, we develop a general framework for constructing non-Abelian quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) codes by gauging sheaf codes via cup products and use it to obtain families with constant encoding...

Constant-rate quantum codes with low-weight stabilizers and full logical Clifford actions via transversal and fold-transversal gates

Low-space-overhead fault-tolerant quantum computation requires not only high-rate quantum error-correcting codes but also space-efficient implementations of logical operations. Transversal and fold-transversal gates are promising since they limit error propagation and require no additional qubits. However, the logical...

Learning unknown stabilizer codes using product measurements

Efficiently characterizing quantum error correcting codes is a key challenge on the path to fault-tolerant quantum computation. Stabilizer codes, a central class of such codes, are defined by a set of stabilizer generators. Here, we present an algorithm that uses random single-qubit measurements to learn the stabilizer...
