Floquet Abelian Multicycle Codes
Abstract
Abelian multicycle (AMC) codes are compact quantum low-density parity-check codes whose multiblock chain-complex structure provides redundant low-weight stabilizers and supports single-shot error correction. We introduce Floquet AMC codes by deriving a quotient-lattice representation of a general level-, -dimensional AMC complex over a finite Abelian group algebra, lifting this lattice to spacetime, and rotating the circuit-time direction in the associated ZX network. When the check and data spiders have even valence and admit a time-oriented local port matching, the network decomposes into a periodic schedule of native two-qubit and measurements. We construct generalized-bicycle and level- AMC4 examples, determine their instantaneous stabilizer groups, and compute their embedded distances by minimizing over all inequivalent circuit cuts. For AMC4 instances locally equivalent to four-dimensional toric codes, we obtain Floquet memories with parameters , , and . Local Pauli-web detector templates and beam-search decoding under the measurement-native EM3 noise model yield an estimated pseudothreshold of approximately . These results provide compact measurement-only realizations of higher-dimensional homological redundancy without directly measuring the original weight-six stabilizers.
