Fault-tolerant mixed boundary punctures on the toric code

Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Abstract: Defects on the toric code, a well-known exactly solvable Abelian anyon model, can exhibit non-Abelian statistical properties, which can be classified into punctures and twists. Benhemou et al.[Phys. Rev. A. 105, 042417 (2022)] introduced a mixed boundary puncture model that integrates the advantages of both punctures and twists. They proposed that non-Abelian properties could be realized in the symmetric subspace {$|++\rangle$, $|--\rangle$}. This work demonstrates that the nontrivial antisymmetric subspace{$|+-\rangle$, $|-+\rangle$} also supports non-Abelian statistics. The mixed boundary puncture model is shown to be fault-tolerant in both subspaces, offering resistance to collective dephasing noise and collective rotation noise. In addition, we propose and validate a quantum information masking scheme within the three-partite mixed boundary puncture model.
