qLDPC

This package contains tools for constructing and analyzing quantum low density parity check (qLDPC) codes.

📦 Installation

This package requires Python>=3.10, and can be installed from PyPI with

pip install qldpc

To install a local version from source:

git clone git@github.com:Infleqtion/qLDPC.git
pip install -e qLDPC

You can also pip install -e 'qLDPC[dev]' to additionally install some development tools.

🚀 Features

Notable features include:

  • ClassicalCode: class for representing classical linear error-correcting codes over finite fields.
  • QuditCode: general class for constructing Galois-qudit codes.
  • CSSCode: general class for constructing quantum CSS codes out of two mutually compatible ClassicalCodes.
    • CSSCode.get_logical_ops: method to construct a complete basis of nontrivial logical operators for a CSSCode.
    • CSSCode.get_distance: method to compute the code distance (i.e., the minimum weight of a nontrivial logical operator) of a CSSCode. Includes options for computing the exact code distance by brute force, as well as an estimate (or upper bound) with the method of arXiv:2308.07915.
    • Includes options for applying local Hadamard transformations, which is useful for tailoring a CSSCode to biased noise (see arXiv:2202.01702). Options to apply more general Clifford code deformations are pending.
  • GBCode: class for constructing generalized bicycle codes, as described in arXiv:1904.02703.
  • BBCode: class for constructing the bivariate bicycle codes in arXiv:2308.07915 and arXiv:2311.16980.
    • Includes methods to identify "toric layouts" of a BBCode, in which the code looks like a toric code augmented by some long-distance checks, as in discussed in arXiv:2308.07915.
  • HGPCode: class for constructing hypergraph product codes out of two ClassicalCodes.
  • LPCode: class for constructing lifted product codes out of two protographs (i.e., matrices whose entries are elements of a group algebra). See arXiv:2012.04068 and arXiv:2202.01702.
  • QTCode: class for constructing quantum Tanner codes out of (a) two symmetric subsets A and B of a group G, and (b) two ClassicalCodes with block lengths |A| and |B|. See arXiv:2202.13641 and arXiv:2206.07571.
    • Random QTCodes can be constructed out of a choice of group G and one ClassicalCode only.
  • abstract.py: module for basic abstract algebra (groups, algebras, and representations thereof).
  • objects.py: module for constructing helper objects such as Cayley complexes and chain complexes, which are instrumental for the construction of various quantum codes.

🤔 Questions and issues

If this project gains interest and traction, I'll add a documentation webpage and material to help users get started quickly. I am also planning to write a paper that presents and explains this project. In the meantime, you can explore the documentation and explanations in the source code, as well as the examples directory. Test files (such as qldpc/codes/quantum_test.py) contain some examples of using the classes and methods described above.

If you have any questions, feedback, or requests, please open an issue on GitHub or email me at michael.perlin@infleqtion.com!
