- Steane code
The Steane code is a tool in
quantum error correction introduced byAndrew Steane in 1996. It is a perfectCSS code , using the classical binaryself-dual [7,4,3]Hamming code to correct forqubit flip errors (X errors) and thedual of the Hamming code, the [7,3,3] code, to correct for phase flip errors (Z errors). The Steane code is able to correct arbitrary single qubit errors.In the
stabilizer formalism , the Steane code has 6 generators, and thecheck matrix instandard form is :where H is the
parity-check matrix of the Hamming code and is given by:
