Dynamical logical qubits in the Bacon-Shor code

Floquet error-correcting codes usually involve non-trivial geometries and encode a small number of logical qubits, but here the authors introduce a Floquet code construction based on the simple Bacon-Shor code, defined on a square lattice, encoding many more logical qubits than previously thought. This opens a new door for dynamical code design.

Abstract

Floquet error-correcting codes usually involve non-trivial geometries and encode a small number of logical qubits, but here the authors introduce a Floquet code construction based on the simple Bacon-Shor code, defined on a square lattice, encoding many more logical qubits than previously thought. This opens a new door for dynamical code design.
