Abstract

Hyperbolic Floquet codes use only weight-2 measurements and can be implemented directly on hardware with native pair measurements. We construct hyperbolic and semi-hyperbolic Floquet codes from {8,3}\{8,3\}, {10,3}\{10,3\}, and {12,3}\{12,3\} tessellations via the Wythoff kaleidoscopic construction with the Low-Index Normal Subgroups (LINS) algorithm. The {10,3}\{10,3\} and {12,3}\{12,3\} families are new to hyperbolic Floquet codes. We evaluate these codes under four noise models. Under ancilla-based Entangling Measurement (EM3) noise, all three families achieve a threshold of 1.5%{\sim}1.5\%. With a native pair-measurement depolarizing model (SDEM3), thresholds are 1.0{\sim}1.0--1.2%1.2\%. For heralded photon loss, the {8,3}\{8,3\} family achieves 8.5{\sim}8.5--9%9\%, exceeding the planar honeycomb threshold of 6.3%{\sim}6.3\%. In the multi-parameter SPOQC-2 noise model, the {8,3}\{8,3\} codes achieve a 2D fault-tolerant area 2.2×2.2\times that of the surface code compiled to pair measurements. We present the first photon loss and SPOQC-2 thresholds for hyperbolic Floquet codes.
