Performance and Achievable Rates of the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill Code for Pure-Loss and Amplification Channels

Guo Zheng, Wenhao He, Gideon Lee +2 more

Quantum error-correction codes protect information from realistic noisy channels and lie at the heart of quantum computation and communication tasks. Understanding the optimal performance and other information-theoretic properties, such as the achievable rates, of a given code is crucial, as these factors determine the fundamental limits imposed by the encoding in conjunction with the noise channel. Here, we use the transpose channel to analytically obtain the near-optimal performance of any Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code under pure loss and pure amplification. We present rigorous connections between GKP code’s near-optimal performance and its dual lattice geometry and average input energy. With no energy constraint, we show that when | τ / ( 1 − τ ) | is an integer, specific families of GKP codes simultaneously achieve the loss and amplification capacity. τ is the transmissivity (gain) for loss (amplification). Our results establish GKP code as the first structured bosonic code family that achieves the capacity of loss and amplification.

Quantum Capacity Bounds of Gaussian Thermal Loss Channels and Achievable Rates With Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill Codes

Kyungjoo Noh, Victor V. Albert, Liang Jiang

Gaussian thermal loss channels are of particular importance to quantum communication theory since they model realistic optical communication channels. Except for special cases, the quantum capacity of Gaussian thermal loss channels is not yet quantified completely. In this paper, we provide improved upper bounds of the Gaussian thermal loss channel capacity, both in energy-constrained and unconstrained scenarios. We briefly review Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) codes and discuss their experimental implementation. We then prove, in the energy-unconstrained case, that a family of GKP codes achieves the quantum capacity of Gaussian thermal loss channels up to at most a constant gap from the improved upper bound. In the energy-constrained case, we formulate a biconvex encoding and decoding optimization problem to maximize entanglement fidelity. Then, we solve the biconvex optimization heuristically by an alternating semi-definite programming method and report that, starting from Haar random initial codes, our numerical optimization yields a hexagonal GKP code as an optimal encoding in a practically relevant regime.
