Golden codes: quantum LDPC codes from regular tessellations of hyperbolic 4-manifolds
Vivien Londe, Anthony Leverrier · Quantum Information and Computation · 2019
We adapt a construction of Guth and Lubotzky \cite{GL14} to obtain a family of quantum LDPC codes with non-vanishing rate and minimum distance scaling like n^{0.1} where n is the number of physical qubits. Similarly as in Ref.~\cite{GL14}, our homological code family stems from hyperbolic 4-manifolds equipped with tessellations. The main novelty of this work is that we consider a regular tessellation consisting of hypercubes. We exploit this strong local structure to design and analyze an efficient decoding algorithm.
