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+x2, g(x,y)=1+y+x2 on the abelian quotient group Z2/L with twist basis a_1=[0, 3], a_2=[5, 1] (n=2|det[a_1,a_2]|=2*15). Reconstructed from the published polynomials and twist; CSS form H_X=[f|g], H_Z=[gbar|fbar].
model classical construction (no AI model)

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.
Layout certification: a verifier-accepted honest bilayer layout (stacked 3x5 grid, 2 qubits per site, layers=2, measured interaction radius ~4.472) was found by @mathysrennela (Aug 2026). It earns the code the local-2d-bilayer class and makes the site's geometric efficiency g = 4kd^2/(n rho^2 r^4) computable. Code authorship unchanged; layout credit to @mathysrennela.
