Error-immune quantum communication

Abstract

Environmental effects on the transmission of a state result, in general, in a change in the information carried by it. To mitigate this, many techniques such as quantum error--correcting codes, decoherence--free--subspaces [Rev Mod Phys, 88(4):041001, 2016] are employed. The basic idea underlying them is to protect/recover the state. These techniques require multi-party entanglement, whose generation is a difficult task. Further, retrieval of information would require complete tomography, which inevitably requires a large number of copies. Taking this into account, in this work, a formalism has been laid down which does not require recovery of a state. The formalism employs scaling laws to obtain quantities that remain invariant under a noisy evolution of a state. The information encoded in these invariant quantities can be transmitted in an error-immune manner. Since multiparty entanglement and error detection/correction will not be required, the proposed scheme would be cost-effective and may be reliably employed for error-free information transfer. Employing the formalism, we have obtained invariant quantities for various noisy channels of a qubit and a quNit.

Combating errors in quantum communication: an integrated approach

Rajni Bala, Sooryansh Asthana, V. Ravishankar

Near-term quantum communication protocols suffer inevitably from channel noises, whose alleviation has been mostly attempted with resources such as multiparty entanglement or sophisticated experimental techniques. Generation of multiparty higher dimensional entanglement is not easy. This calls for exploring realistic solutions which are implementable with current devices. Motivated particularly by the difficulty in generation of multiparty entangled states, in this paper, we have investigated error-free information transfer with minimal requirements. For this, we have proposed a new information encoding scheme for communication purposes. The encoding scheme is based on the fact that most noisy channels leave some quantities invariant. Armed with this fact, we encode information in these invariants. These invariants are functions of expectation values of operators. This information passes through the noisy channel unchanged. Pertinently, this approach is not in conflict with other existing error correction schemes. In fact, we have shown how standard quantum error-correcting codes emerge if suitable restrictions are imposed on the choices of logical basis states. As applications, for illustration, we propose a quantum key distribution protocol and an error-immune information transfer protocol.

Quantum Communication Protocol Design Based on Quantum Error-Correcting Codes

Jincheng Zhang

This paper presents the design of a communication protocol leveraging quantum error-correcting codes to enhance the reliability of quantum communication. The core idea revolves around encoding quantum information using a specific quantum error-correcting code and subsequently transmitting this encoded information. During transmission, the protocol employs error detection and correction techniques based on the chosen code to mitigate the detrimental effects of noise and decoherence, which are inherent challenges in quantum communication. The proposed protocol aims to significantly improve the robustness of quantum communication channels, a critical step towards realizing practical quantum networks and secure quantum key distribution. The theoretical framework and mathematical formulation of the protocol are presented, detailing the encoding process, error detection, and correction mechanisms. This work contributes to the growing field of quantum communication by providing a concrete design methodology for building more reliable quantum communication systems.

Quantum Entanglement Encoding-Based Non-Classical Communication Protocol

Jincheng Zhang

This paper proposes a novel communication protocol leveraging multi-particle entanglement for non-classical information transmission. The core of the protocol resides in a carefully designed encoding scheme utilizing multi-variable entangled states to mitigate the impact of quantum decoherence and achieve information transfer rates exceeding the classical channel capacity. We introduce a multi-variable entangled state based error correction coding mechanism, combined with quantum decoherence theory, providing a scalable error correction strategy. The protocol focuses on precise control of entangled state utilization and minimizing errors in non-classical communication, offering a potentially scalable solution. The key mathematical formulation explores the encoding process, error detection, and correction stages, highlighting the role of entangled correlations in recovering the transmitted information. This work contributes to the advancement of quantum communication by providing a robust and scalable approach to non-classical information transfer. ---

Quantum Entanglement Transfer for Topological Error Correction

Jincheng Zhang

This paper presents a novel approach to quantum error correction leveraging the topological properties of quantum entanglement. Traditional quantum error correction codes rely on local operations, which are often inefficient and vulnerable to noise. We propose a scheme utilizing multi-body quantum entanglement networks to encode and decode quantum information, capitalizing on the inherent topological protection offered by entanglement. The core mechanism involves the exchange of entangled states to effectively mitigate the impact of noise, achieving robust quantum information transfer without the constraints of localized operations. This work introduces a fundamentally new paradigm for quantum communication, offering a more reliable pathway for transmitting quantum information in the presence of environmental noise. The proposed method aims to overcome the limitations of existing error correction techniques by exploiting the intrinsic robustness of entanglement, paving the way for more practical and scalable quantum communication systems. The key advantage lies in the absence of the need for local quantum gates, which are often a significant bottleneck in quantum communication. We demonstrate, theoretically, the potential for enhanced error correction performance through the strategic manipulation of entangled states.

Quantum Error Correction Information Encoding

Jincheng Zhang

This paper presents a novel information encoding scheme leveraging the specific error correction properties of quantum error-correcting codes. The core claim is that this scheme significantly enhances the reliability of quantum information transmission in noisy environments. The mechanism relies on subspace projection based on the error-correcting code, accurately reconstructing the original quantum information while minimizing the impact of decoherence. Unlike simply applying existing error-correcting codes, this approach optimizes the encoding scheme specifically for quantum characteristics, leading to more efficient quantum information transfer. The proposed method aims to address a critical bottleneck in quantum communication – the vulnerability of quantum information to environmental noise – by providing a robust and adaptive information encoding strategy. The design incorporates key elements of linear codes, specifically tailored for the unique challenges presented by quantum systems. The theoretical framework demonstrates a significant improvement in error correction performance compared to standard approaches.

Entanglement-assisted quantum error-correcting codes

Todd A. Brun, Min-Hsiu Hsieh

Introduction Quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) have turned out to have many applications; but their primary purpose, of course, is to protect quantum information from noise. This need manifests itself in two rather different situations. The first is in quantum computing. The qubits in a quantum computer are subject to noise due both to imprecision in the operations (or gates) and to interactions with the external environment. They undergo errors when they are acted upon, and when they are just being stored (though hopefully not at the same rate). All the qubits in the computer must be kept error-free long enough for the computation to be completed. This is the principle of fault tolerance. A rather different situation occurs in quantum communication . Here, the sender and receiver (Alice and Bob) are assumed to be physically separated, and the qubits travel from the sender to the receiver over a (presumably noisy) channel. This channel is assumed to be the dominant source of errors. While the qubits may undergo processing before and after transmission, errors during this processing are considered negligible compared to the channel errors. This picture of transmission through a channel is similar in spirit to the paradigm underlying much of classical information theory.
