No worries. It’s still a crappy little code, the underdog of that uses a dumb product :). The threshold was improved upon in arxiv.org/abs/2504.02749 and you can also give it a higher rate arxiv.org/abs/2403.03291 Not sure if both at the same time. It has a nice FT CCZ arxiv.org/abs/1705.01686
Bacon-Shor Board Games
We identify a period-4 measurement schedule for the checks of the Bacon-Shor code that fully covers spacetime with constant-weight detectors, and is numerically observed to provide the code with a thr...

The thing about problems in NP is that once you verify them, you can cache the result, and then the joy of discovery is just a lookup.

I’m not a Platonist, but somedays the solidity of what has been discovered overwhelms me with awe.

Too many encoded qubits, not enough exchange magic :)

My favorite simple non Pauli stabilizer code is the single qubit error detecting code stabilized by U x U x U x U. So pretty. So symmetric.
