Wire Codes

Quantum 10, 2083 (2026). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2026-04-24-2083 Quantum information is fragile and must be protected by a quantum error-correcting code for large-scale practical applications. Recently, highly efficient quantum codes have been discovered which require a high degree of spatial connectivity. This raises the question of how to realize these codes with minimal overhead under physical hardware connectivity constraints. Here, we introduce a general recipe to transform any quantum s
