Quantum Error Correction Code in the Hamiltonian Formulation

چکیده

The Hamiltonian model of quantum error correction code in the literature is often constructed with the help of its stabilizer formalism. But there have been many known examples of nonadditive codes which are beyond the standard quantum error correction theory using the stabilizer formalism. In this paper, we suggest the other type of Hamiltonian formalism for quantum error correction code without involving the stabilizer formalism, and explain it by studying the Shor nine-qubit code and its generalization. In this Hamiltonian formulation, the unitary evolution operator at a specific time is a unitary basis transformation matrix from the product basis to the quantum error correction code. This basis transformation matrix acts as an entangling quantum operator transforming a separate state to an entangled one, and hence the entanglement nature of the quantum error correction code can be explicitly shown up. Furthermore, as it forms a unitary braid representation of the Artin braid group, the quantum error correction code can be described by a braiding operator. Moreover, as the unitary evolution operator is a solution of the quantum Yang–Baxter equation, the corresponding Hamiltonian model can be explained as an integrable model in the Yang–Baxter theory. On the other hand, we generalize the Shor nine-qubit code and articulate a topic called quantum error correction codes using Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states to yield new nonadditive codes and channel-adapted codes.

Correlated errors can lead to better performance of quantum codes

A formulation for evaluating the performance of quantum error correcting codes for a general error model is presented. In this formulation, the correlation between errors is quantified by a Hamiltonian description of the noise process. We classify correlated errors using the system-bath interaction: local versus nonlocal and two-body versus many-body interactions. In particular, we consider Cal...

Hamiltonian formulation of quantum error correction and correlated noise: Effects of syndrome extraction in the long-time limit

We analyze the long-time behavior of a quantum computer running a quantum error correction QEC code in the presence of a correlated environment. Starting from a Hamiltonian formulation of realistic noise models, and assuming that QEC is indeed possible, we find formal expressions for the probability of a given syndrome history and the associated residual decoherence encoded in the reduced densi...

GENERALIZED JOINT HIGHER-RANK NUMERICAL RANGE

The rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. For noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. In this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, Generaliz...

We propose a new approach to study the evolution of a quantum state that is encoded in a system which is continuously subject to the operations required to implement a quantum error correcting code. In the limit of continuous error correction we introduce a Markovian master equation that includes the effects of: a) Hamiltonian evolution, b) errors caused by the interaction with an environment a...
