Quantum codes from high-dimensional manifolds

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We construct toric codes on various high-dimensional manifolds. Assuming a conjecture in geometry we find families of quantum CSS stabilizer codes on N qubits with logarithmic weight stabilizers and distance N1epsilon for any epsilon>0. The conjecture is that there is a constant C>0 such that for any n-dimensional torus mathbbTn=mathbbRn/Lambda, where Lambda is a lattice, the least volume unoriented n/2-dimensional surface (using the Euclidean metric) representing nontrivial homology has volume at least Cn times the volume of the least volume n/2-dimensional hyperplane representing nontrivial homology; in fact, it would suffice to have this result for Lambda an integral lattice with the surface restricted to faces of a cubulation by unit hypercubes. The main technical result is an estimate of Rankin invariantscite{rankin} for certain random lattices, showing that in a certain sense they are optimal. Additionally, we construct codes with square-root distance, logarithmic weight stabilizers, and inverse polylogarithmic soundness factor (considered as quantum locally testable codescite{qltc}). We also provide an short, alternative proof that the shortest vector in the exterior power of a lattice may be non-splitcite{coulangeon}.
