Please join us tomorrow at 4pm in the time room for a quantum information seminar by Thomas Stace.Title: Foliated Quantum Codes,Abstract:
Raussendorf introduced a powerful model of fault tolerant measurement based quantum computation, which can be understood as a layering (or “foliation”) of a multiplicity of Kitaev’s toric code. I will discuss our generalisation of Raussendorf’s construction to an arbitrary CSS code. We call this a Foliated Quantum Code. Decoding this foliated construction is not necessarily straightforward, so I will discuss an example in which we foliate a family of finite-rate quantum turbo codes, and present the results of numerical simulations of the decoder performance.
