Non-CSS Quantum Code Embedding
Abstract
We generalize the unified framework in [Phys. Rev. A 113, 022438 (2026)] to accommodate arbitrary stabilizer codes (referred as non-CSS for emphasis). The generalization has immediate consequences in areas including logical measurement, quantum weight reduction and Euclidean embedding. For example, currently CSS (pure $X,Z$-type) logical measurements are well-understood based on the (height-1) cone, while non-CSS (e.g., $Y$-type) logical measurements are ad hoc (e.g., rely on local Clifford transform). Similarly, quantum weight reduction and optimal Euclidean embeddings only exist for CSS input codes. Here, we show that our generalized framework addresses this issue, and thus many constructions, including qLDPC surgery, Layer Codes and quantum weight reduction generalize to non-CSS codes in a relatively straightforward fashion. The previously mentioned examples are derived in detail for clarity.
