The concept of generalized concatenated quantum codes (GCQC) provides a systematic way for constructing good quantum codes from short component codes. We introduce a stabilizer formalism for GCQCs, which is achieved by defining quantum coset codes. This formalism offers a new perspective for GCQCs and enables us to derive a lower bound on the code distance of stabilizer GCQCs from component codes parameters, for both non-degenerate and degenerate component codes. Our formalism also shows how to…

It is shown that the exact tensor-network decoder (with no bond-dimension truncation) has polynomial complexity in the number of physical qubits, even for locally correlated noise, making this the first efficient decoder for holographic codes against Pauli noise and a rare example of a decoder that is both efficient and exact.
