Targeted Clifford logical gates for hypergraph product codes

Starting with an explicit framework for designing logical Clifford circuits for CSS codes, we construct logical gates for Hypergraph Product Codes. We first derive symplectic matrices for CNOT, CZ, Phase, and Hadamard operators, which together generate the Clifford group. This enables us to design explicit transformations that result in targeted logical gates for arbitrary codes in this family. As a concrete example, we give logical circuits for the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mo stretchy="false">[</mml:mo><mml:mo stretchy="false">[</mml:mo><mml:mn>18</mml:mn><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mn>2</mml:mn><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mn>3</mml:mn><mml:mo stretchy="false">]</mml:mo><mml:mo stretchy="false">]</mml:mo></mml:math> toric code.

Abstract

Starting with an explicit framework for designing logical Clifford circuits for CSS codes, we construct logical gates for Hypergraph Product Codes. We first derive symplectic matrices for CNOT, CZ, Phase, and Hadamard operators, which together generate the Clifford group. This enables us to design explicit transformations that result in targeted logical gates for arbitrary codes in this family. As a concrete example, we give logical circuits for the <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mo stretchy="false">[</mml:mo><mml:mo stretchy="false">[</mml:mo><mml:mn>18</mml:mn><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mn>2</mml:mn><mml:mo>,</mml:mo><mml:mn>3</mml:mn><mml:mo stretchy="false">]</mml:mo><mml:mo stretchy="false">]</mml:mo></mml:math> toric code.
