Multiaccess quantum communication and product higher rank numerical range

Abstract

In the present paper we initiate the study of the product higher rank numerical range. The latter, being a variant of the higher rank numerical range [M.--D. Choi {\it et al.}, Rep. Math. Phys. {\bf 58}, 77 (2006); Lin. Alg. Appl. {\bf 418}, 828 (2006)], is a natural tool for studying a construction of quantum error correction codes for multiple access channels. We review properties of this set and relate it to other numerical ranges, which were recently introduced in the literature. Further, the concept is applied to the construction of codes for bi--unitary two--access channels with a hermitian noise model. Analytical techniques for both outerbounding the product higher rank numerical range and determining its exact shape are developed for this case. Finally, the reverse problem of constructing a noise model for a given product range is considered.

Quantum Error Correction and Higher-Rank Numerical Range

Choi, M D, David W. Kribs, Karol Życzkowski

We solve the fundamental quantum error correction problem for bi-unitary channels on two-qubit Hilbert space. We construct qubit codes for such channels on arbitrary dimension Hilbert space, and identify correctable codes for Pauli-error models not detected by the stabilizer formalism. This is accomplished through an application of a new tool for error correction in quantum computing called the ``higher-rank numerical range''. We describe its basic properties and discuss possible further applications.

Quantum error correction and generalized numerical ranges

Chi-Kwong Li, Yiu‐Tung Poon

For a noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code exists if and only if the joint higher rank numerical ranges associated with the error operators of the channel is non-empty. In this paper, geometric properties of the joint higher rank numerical ranges are obtained and their implications to quantum computing are discussed. It is shown that if the dimension of the underlying Hilbert space of the quantum states is sufficiently large, the joint higher rank numerical range of operators is always star-shaped and contains a non-empty convex subset. In case the operators are infinite dimensional, the joint infinite rank numerical range of the operators is a convex set closely related to the joint essential numerical ranges of the operators.

Joint higher rank numerical range of Pauli group

Sayyed Ahmad Mousavi, Abbas Salemi

For a noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correction code of dimension k exists if and only if the joint rank- numerical range associated with the error operators of the channel is non-empty. In this paper, the joint rank- numerical range of an -tuple of elements in the -qubit Pauli group are discussed. Let be a Hermitian triple in the -qubit Pauli group. We state a constructive method to obtain the joint rank- numerical range of . Moreover, we show that .

Decoherence-Free Communication over Multiaccess Quantum Channels

Maciej Demianowicz

In this paper we consider decoherence-free communication over multiple access and k-user quantum channels. First, we concentrate on a hermitian unitary noise model U for a two-access bi-unitary channel and show that in this case a decoherence-free code exists if the space of Schmidt matrices of an eigensubspace of U exhibits certain properties of decomposability. Then, we show that our technique is also applicable for generic random unitary two-access channels. Finally, we consider the applicability of the result to the case of a larger number of senders and general Kraus operators.

Higher-rank numerical ranges of unitary and normal matrices

Man-Duen Choi, John Holbrook, David W. Kribs +1 more

We verify a conjecture on the structure of higher-rank numerical ranges for a wide class of unitary and normal matrices. Using analytic and geometric techniques, we show precisely how the higher-rank numerical ranges for a generic unitary matrix are given by complex polygons determined by the spectral structure of the matrix. We discuss applications of the results to quantum error correction, specifically to the problem of identification and construction of codes for binary unitary noise models.
