Perfect quantum-error-correction coding in 24 laser pulses
نویسندگان
چکیده
An efficient coding circuit is given for the perfect quantum-error correction of a single quantum bit ~qubit! against arbitrary one-qubit errors within a five-qubit code. The circuit presented employs a double ‘‘classical’’ code, i.e., one for bit flips and one for phase shifts. An implementation of this coding circuit on an ion-trap quantum computer is described that requires 26 laser pulses. Another circuit is presented requiring only 24 laser pulses, making it an efficient protection scheme against arbitrary one-qubit errors. In addition, the performances of two error-correction schemes, one based on the quantum Zeno effect and the other using standard methods, are compared. The quantum Zeno error correction scheme is found to fail completely for a model of noise based on phase diffusion. @S1050-2947~97!03902-4#

Proof-of-Concept of Real-World Quantum Key Distribution with Quantum Frames
We propose a fibre-based quantum key distribution system, which employs polarization qubits encoded into faint laser pulses. As a novel feature, it allows sending of classical framing information via sequences of strong laser pulses that precede the quantum data. This allows synchronization, sender and receiver identification, and compensation of time-varying birefringence in the communication ...
متن کاملPerfect Coding for Dephased Quantum State Transfer
Near-future realisations of quantum technologies, from simple state-generation tasks [1–3] to analogue quantum simulation [4], will be small scale and will rely on intrinsic properties of the system to facilitate as much of their functionality as possible, rather than trying to impose error-prone operations to strong-arm the system into performing tasks. For example, existing quantum simulators...

When a logical qubit is protected using a quantum error-correcting code, the net effect of coding, decoherence ~a physical channel acting on qubits in the codeword! and recovery can be represented exactly by an effective channel acting directly on the logical qubit. In this paper we describe a procedure for deriving the map between physical and effective channels that results from a given codin...
