Haah's cubic code is the prototypical type-II fracton topological order. It instantiates the no string-like operator property that underlies the favorable scaling of its code distance and logical energy barrier. Previously, the cubic code…

Stabiliser codes with large weight measurements can be challenging to implement fault-tolerantly. To overcome this, we propose a Floquetification procedure which, given a stabiliser code, synthesises a novel Floquet code that only uses…
