Codes MOC

Curated map of Zoo entries in the Codes family.

Entries

Entry	Type	Status
bacon-shor-code	encoding	demonstrated
floquet-codes	encoding	proposed
qldpc-codes	encoding	proposed

Composition

• encoding: 3

Conceptual anchors

• threshold-theorem is the top-level reason these entries matter architecturally.
• erasure-error-vs-pauli-error is useful for separating codes that assume ordinary Pauli noise from hardware paths with flagged loss / erasure structure.

Scope boundary

• bacon-shor-code, floquet-codes, and qldpc-codes live here because their identity is primarily code-theoretic: subsystem structure, measurement schedule, or parity-check sparsity is the main story.
• surface-code-logical-qubit, color-code-logical-qubit, and erasure-qubit stay in cross-platform-moc because they function as architecture-level roadmapping concepts as much as code families.
• qldpc-codes should usually be read together with quantum-transduction and modular-hardware notes, since its long-range-check promise matters most once distributed connectivity enters the design.

Editorial note

This MOC is still narrow. It currently captures only families with stable Zoo-level identity. Keep generic code-theory papers in References/ unless they materially change the hardware-facing story.
