Abstract

In this paper, we present a passive linear optics error correction scheme for qudits using W-state encoding, based on post selection, which reduces the effects of dephasing noise in photonic quantum communication.

A robust W-state encoding for linear quantum optics

Madhav Krishnan Vijayan, Austin P. Lund, Peter P. Rohde

Error-detection and correction are necessary prerequisites for any scalable quantum computing architecture. Given the inevitability of unwanted physical noise in quantum systems and the propensity for errors to spread as computations proceed, computational outcomes can become substantially corrupted. This observation applies regardless of the choice of physical implementation. In the context of photonic quantum information processing, there has recently been much interest in passive linear optics quantum computing, which includes boson-sampling, as this model eliminates the highly-challenging requirements for feed-forward via fast, active control. That is, these systems are passive by definition. In usual scenarios, error detection and correction techniques are inherently active , making them incompatible with this model, arousing suspicion that physical error processes may be an insurmountable obstacle. Here we explore a photonic error-detection technique, based on W-state encoding of photonic qubits, which is entirely passive, based on post-selection, and compatible with these near-term photonic architectures of interest. We show that this W-state redundant encoding techniques enables the suppression of dephasing noise on photonic qubits via simple fan-out style operations, implemented by optical Fourier transform networks, which can be readily realised today. The protocol effectively maps dephasing noise into heralding failures, with zero failure probability in the ideal no-noise limit. We present our scheme in the context of a single photonic qubit passing through a noisy communication or quantum memory channel, which has not been generalised to the more general context of full quantum computation.

Linear optical setups for active and passive quantum error correction in polarization encoded qubits

José Cláudio do Nascimento, Fábio Alencar Mendonça, Rubens Viana Ramos

In this work, we present active and passive linear optical setups for error correction in quantum communication systems that employ polarization of single-photon and mesoscopic coherent states. The proposed systems are analytically analysed and their applications in quantum communication systems are described. In particular, we show a security analysis of a QKD system employing the active error correction system when an eavesdropper uses the Fuchs–Peres–Brandt attack.

Effects of noise on quantum error correction algorithms

Adriano Barenco, Todd A. Brun, Rüdiger Schack +1 more

It has recently been shown that there are efficient algorithms for quantum computers to solve certain problems, such as prime factorization, which are intractable to date on classical computers. The chances for practical implementation, however, are limited by decoherence, in which the effect of an external environment causes random errors in the quantum calculation. To combat this problem, quantum error correction schemes have been proposed, in which a single quantum bit (qubit) is ``encoded'' as a state of some larger number of qubits, chosen to resist particular types of errors. Most such schemes are vulnerable, however, to errors in the encoding and decoding itself. We examine two such schemes, in which a single qubit is encoded in a state of $n$ qubits while subject to dephasing or to arbitrary isotropic noise. Using both analytical and numerical calculations, we argue that error correction remains beneficial in the presence of weak noise, and that there is an optimal time between error correction steps, determined by the strength of the interaction with the environment and the parameters set by the encoding.

Systems of quantum communication with linear optical

Daniel Barbosa de Brito

In this dissertation it is considered a quantum error correction system for coherent states of light and a complete optical system for probabilistic teleportation of single-photon polarization encoded qubit. Initially, the quantum error correction with the use of redundancy is analyzed. After that, it is presented a form of error correction using time-bin qubit without redundancies. Based on this last approach, a passive quantum error correction system, that is, without external control and synchronization, for quantum communication system employing coherent states, using only linear optical devices, is proposed. It is shown that the quantum error correction system also works for bipartite states of qubits. Following, the teleportation of quantum states is analyzed and an optical system for probabilistic teleportation of single-photon polarization encoded qubit, using only linear optical devices, is proposed. Finally, the error correction and teleportation topics are put together in the proposal of a probabilistic teleportation system using an error correction system for distribution of the entangled pair of photons
