Abstract

We introduce a class of cyclic quantum codes, basing the construction not on the simplicity of the stabilizers, but rather on the simplicity of preparation of a code state (at least in the absence of noise). We show how certain known codes, such as a certain family of rotated two-dimensional toric codes, fall into this class, and we also give certain other examples at small sizes found by computer search. We finally discuss fault tolerant preparation of these codes.
