One-Shot any Code
Abstract
We first provide a simple proof showing that any single-shot code is self-correcting. We then show that any [[n,k]] CSS quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) code can be transformed into an [[nm,k]] CSS QLDPC code with single-shot (SS) quantum error correction and an efficient local decoder which runs in O(log m) parallel time. Below a constant threshold pRG>0 for joint local stochastic physical and measurement noise, the logical failure probability over T correction rounds is bounded by O(T n)exp[−Ω(mα)] for a constant α>0; we say that the \textit{threshold} is pRG and \textit{error suppression} is Ω(mα). Moreover, if the input code is equipped with a single-shot decoder with threshold pc>0 and error suppression Ω(nβ), then the output code \textit{enhances} the error suppression to Ω(mα nβ), while maintaining the decoder-independent threshold pRG, and thus \textit{enhanced} if pc < pRG.

AB - We first provide a simple proof showing that any single-shot code is self-correcting. We then show that any [[n,k]] CSS quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) code can be transformed into an [[nm,k]] CSS QLDPC code with single-shot (SS) quantum error correction and an efficient local decoder which runs in O(log m) parallel time. Below a constant threshold p_RG>0 for joint local stochastic physical and measurement noise, the logical failure probability over T correction rounds is bounded by O(T n)exp[−Ω(m^α)] for a constant α>0; we say that the \textit{threshold} is p_RG and \textit{error suppression} is Ω(m^α). Moreover, if the input code is equipped with a single-shot decoder with threshold p_c>0 and error suppression Ω(n^β), then the output code \textit{enhances} the error suppression to Ω(m^α n^β), while maintaining the decoder-independent threshold p_RG, and thus \textit{enhanced} if p_c < p_RG.
