The implementation of hybrid codes and nuclear magnetic resonance quantum information processing

Shayan Majidy

The development of quantum error correcting techniques is of paramount importance to the ultimate goal of implementing practical quantum computers. The simultaneous transmission of quantum and classical information over a quantum channel was initially investigated by Shor and since been continued by others. It was shown that there is an advantage to transmitting both quantum and classical information simultaneously, compared to independent transmissions. The characterization and construction of codes that allow to transmit both quantum and classical information, which we refer to as hybrid codes, was done from a coding theory perspective and by using the operator algebra quantum error correction (OAQEC) perspective. In this work we unify these two perspectives, showing that the coding theory formulation is a specific case of the OAQEC perspective. As a result we generalized the quantum hamming bound to the hybrid case. To date no such hybrid codes have been physically implemented. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum information processors (QIP) have been an excellent test bed for quantum computing. The techniques of NMR had been refined for many years and can now be applied to quantum computing. NMR techniques provides a high degree of qubit control and long decoherence times compared to other QIP. These two properties of NMR QIP make it a prime candidate for implementing hybrid codes. In this work we developed a hybrid code and designed the circuit for encoding it. We used Matlab to simulate the pulse sequence which would be used in an NMR QIP to carry out the encoding of the hybrid circuit. According to those simulations the full encoding, a single qubit Pauli error and a full decoding can be carried out without the effects of decoherence destroying the quantum information beyond retrieval.

ALGEBRAIC FORMULATION OF QUANTUM ERROR CORRECTION

Cédric Bény, David W. Kribs, Aron Pasieka

We give a brief introduction to the algebraic formulation of error correction in quantum computing called operator algebra quantum error correction (OAQEC). Then we extend one of the basic results for subsystem codes in operator quantum error correction (OQEC) to the OAQEC setting: Every hybrid classical-quantum code is shown to be unitarily recoverable in an appropriate sense. The algebraic approach of the proof yields a new, less technical proof for the OQEC case.

Stabilizer Formalism for Operator Algebra Quantum Error Correction

Guillaume Dauphinais, David W. Kribs, Michael Vasmer

We introduce a stabilizer formalism for the general quantum error correction framework called operator algebra quantum error correction (OAQEC), which generalizes Gottesman's formulation for traditional quantum error correcting codes (QEC) and Poulin's for operator quantum error correction and subsystem codes (OQEC). The construction generates hybrid classical-quantum stabilizer codes and we formulate a theorem that fully characterizes the Pauli errors that are correctable for a given code, generalizing the fundamental theorems for the QEC and OQEC stabilizer formalisms. We discover hybrid versions of the Bacon-Shor subsystem codes motivated by the formalism, and we apply the theorem to derive a result that gives the distance of such codes. We show how some recent hybrid subspace code constructions are captured by the formalism, and we also indicate how it extends to qudits.
