Abstract
In a general aspect, information is encoded in data qubits in a three-dimensional device lattice. The data qubits reside in multiple layers of the three-dimensional device lattice, and each layer includes a respective two-dimensional device lattice. A three-dimensional color code is applied in the three-dimensional device lattice to detect errors in the data qubits residing in the multiple layers. A two-dimensional color code is applied in the two-dimensional device lattice in each respective layer to detect errors in one or more of the data qubits residing in the respective layer.
