New Classes of Quantum Codes Associated with Surface Maps

Published Jul 3, 2020• 0 citations

Abstract

If the cyclic sequences of {face types} {at} all vertices in a map are the same, then the map is said to be a semi-equivelar map. In particular, a semi-equivelar map is equivelar if the faces are the same type. Homological quantum codes represent a subclass of topological quantum codes. In this article, we introduce {thirteen} new classes of quantum codes. These codes are associated with the following: (i) equivelar maps of type $ [k^k]$, (ii) equivelar maps on the double torus along with the covering of the maps, and (iii) semi-equivelar maps on the surface of \Echar{-1}, along with {their} covering maps. The encoding rate of the class of codes associated with the maps in (i) is such that $ \frac{k}{n}\rightarrow 1 $ as $ n\rightarrow\infty $, and for the remaining classes of codes, the encoding rate is $ \frac{k}{n}\rightarrow α$ as $ n\rightarrow \infty $ with $ α< 1 $.

New classes of TQC associated with self-dual, quasi self-dual and denser tessellations

Clarice Dias de Albuquerque, Reginaldo Palazzo, Eduardo Brandani da Silva

In this paper we present six classes of topological quantum codes (TQC) on compact surfaces with genus $g\ge 2$. These codes are derived from self-dual, quasi self-dual and denser tessellations associated with embeddings of self-dual complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs on the corresponding compact surfaces. The majority of the new classes has the self-dual tessellations as their algebraic and geometric supporting mathematical structures. Every code achieves minimum distance 3 and its encoding rate is such that $\frac{k}{n} \rightarrow 1$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$, except for the one case where $\frac{k}{n} \rightarrow \frac{1}{3}$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$.

Homological error correction: Classical and quantum codes

Héctor Bombín, M. A. Martin-Delgado

We prove several theorems characterizing the existence of homological error correction codes both classically and quantumly. Not every classical code is homological, but we find a family of classical homological codes saturating the Hamming bound. In the quantum case, we show that for nonorientable surfaces it is impossible to construct homological codes based on qudits of dimension D>2, while for orientable surfaces with boundaries it is possible to construct them for arbitrary dimension D. We give a method to obtain planar homological codes based on the construction of quantum codes on compact surfaces without boundaries. We show how the original Shor’s 9-qubit code can be visualized as a homological quantum code. We study the problem of constructing quantum codes with optimal encoding rate. In the particular case of toric codes we construct an optimal family and give an explicit proof of its optimality. For homological quantum codes on surfaces of arbitrary genus we also construct a family of codes asymptotically attaining the maximum possible encoding rate. We provide the tools of homology group theory for graphs embedded on surfaces in a self-contained manner.

Topological quantum error correction with optimal encoding rate

Héctor Bombín, Miguel Angel Martin-Delgado

We prove the existence of topological quantum error correcting codes with encoding rates $k∕n$ asymptotically approaching the maximum possible value. Explicit constructions of these topological codes are presented using surfaces of arbitrary genus. We find a class of regular toric codes that are optimal. For physical implementations, we present planar topological codes.
