Clifford-Deformed Compass Codes

This project is a specialized research artifact associated with an arXiv paper (2412.03808v3). It addresses a highly technical niche in quantum computing: tailoring error correction to specific hardware noise profiles (biased dephasing). While the mathematical approach is sophisticated, the software project itself has zero stars and minimal activity, indicating it is a 'code dump' for paper reproducibility rather than a maintained library. Defensibility is low because the 'moat' resides in the PhD-level domain expertise required to understand the math, not in the code's architecture or ecosystem. Frontier labs like OpenAI or Anthropic have zero interest in this layer of the stack; however, quantum hardware 'platforms' like IBM (Qiskit) or Google (Cirq) are the primary threat. If this technique proves superior to the XZZX surface code or standard LDPC approaches, these platforms will likely reimplement the logic directly into their hardware-aware compilers, making this standalone repo obsolete. The 1.3-year age with only 2 forks confirms it has not yet gained traction as a standard utility.
