Distributed Hyperbolic Floquet Codes under Depolarizing and Erasure Noise

Abstract

Distributing qubits across quantum processing units (QPUs) connected by shared entanglement enables scaling beyond monolithic architectures. Hyperbolic Floquet codes use only weight-2 measurements and are good candidates for distributed quantum error correcting codes. We construct hyperbolic and semi-hyperbolic Floquet codes from $\{8,3\}$, $\{10,3\}$, and $\{12,3\}$ tessellations via the Wythoff kaleidoscopic construction with the Low-Index Normal Subgroups (LINS) algorithm and distribute them across QPUs via spectral bisection. The $\{10,3\}$ and $\{12,3\}$ families are new to hyperbolic Floquet codes. We simulate these distributed codes under four noise models: depolarizing, SDEM3, correlated EM3, and erasure. With depolarizing noise ($p_{\text{local}} = 0.03\%$), fine-grained codes achieve non-local pseudo-thresholds up to 3.0\% for $\{8,3\}$, 3.0\% for $\{10,3\}$, and 1.75\% for $\{12,3\}$. Correlated EM3 yields pseudo-thresholds up to 0.75\% for $\{8,3\}$, 0.75\% for $\{10,3\}$, and 0.50\% for $\{12,3\}$; crossing-based thresholds from same-$k$ families are ${\sim}1.75$--$2.9\%$ across all tessellations. Using the SDEM3 model, fine-grained codes achieve distributed pseudo-thresholds of 1.75\% for $\{8,3\}$, 1.25\% for $\{10,3\}$, and 1.00\% for $\{12,3\}$. Under erasure noise motivated by spin-optical architectures, thresholds at 1\% local loss are 35--40\% for $\{8,3\}$, 30--35\% for $\{10,3\}$, and 25--30\% for $\{12,3\}$.
