We study the resources needed to construct topological two-dimensional stabilizer codes as a way to estimate in part their efficiency, and this leads us to perform a comparative study of surface codes and color codes. This study clarifies the similarities and differences between these two types of stabilizer code. We compute the topological error-correcting rate C:=n/d{sup 2} for surface codes C{sub s} and color codes C{sub c} in several instances. On the torus, typical values are C{sub s}=2… Expand
