Abstract

We describe a family of quantum error-correcting codes which generalize both the quantum hypergraph-product (QHP) codes by Tillich and Z\'emor, and all families of toric codes on mm-dimensional hypercubic lattices. Similar to the latter, our codes form mm-complexes Km{\cal K}_m, with m2m\ge2. These are defined recursively, with Km{\cal K}_m obtained as a tensor product of a complex Km1{\cal K}_{m-1} with a 11-complex parameterized by a binary matrix. Parameters of the constructed codes are given explicitly in terms of those of binary codes associated with the matrices used in the construction.
