Construction & provenance

authors Zijian Liang and Ke Liu and Hao Song and Yu-An Chen
provenance literature baseline
construction Twisted-torus bivariate-bicycle code from Generalized toric codes on twisted tori for quantum error correction (PRX Quantum 6, 020357, 2025). Stabilizers f(x,y)=1+x+xy, g(x,y)=1+y+xy on the abelian quotient group Z2/L with twist basis a_1=[0, 3], a_2=[2, 1] (n=2|det[a_1,a_2]|=2*6). Reconstructed from the published polynomials and twist; CSS form H_X=[f|g], H_Z=[gbar|fbar].
model classical construction (no AI model)
date 2025
notes Reconstructed baseline from Liang, Liu, Song, Chen, Generalized toric codes on twisted tori for quantum error correction (PRX Quantum 6, 020357, 2025), arXiv:2503.03827. The [[n,k,d]] parameter set and stabilizer polynomials are published in that paper; this entry reproduces them. Distance is an upper bound per the paper (probabilistic for d>20); the witness is the surrogate logical of that weight. Seeded to fill a board coverage gap at this block size, not a discovery. 2D-local layout added 2026-07-27: simulated annealing over qubit-to-site assignments on a unit-spaced triangular grid (1 layer, capacity 1 per site per layer); measured interaction radius 2.645751 (single-layer); same code, same check matrices.
family bivariate bicycle (a tag, not a ranking)
locality 2D-local single (computed from the layout)
weight class weight ≤ 6 (computed)
