Suppressing decoherence of quantum algorithms by jump codes

Kern, O, Alber, G

Published Jan 1, 2005• 3 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

The stabilizing properties of one-error correcting jump codes are explored under realistic non-ideal conditions. For this purpose the quantum algorithm of the tent-map is decomposed into a universal set of Hamiltonian quantum gates which ensure perfect correction of spontaneous decay processes under ideal circumstances even if they occur during a gate operation. An entanglement gate is presented which is capable of entangling any two logical qubits of different one-error correcting code spaces. With the help of this gate simultaneous spontaneous decay processes affecting physical qubits of different code spaces can be corrected and decoherence can be suppressed significantly.

Quantum error correction and quantum computation

G. Alber, A. Delgado, M. Mussinger

In order to stabilize quantum algorithms against decoherence one has to fulfill two requirements. Firstly, one has to develop an appropriate quantum error correcting code. Secondly, one has to find a set of suitable unitary quantum transformations acting on the physical qubits which preserve the properties of this error correcting quantum code and which allow the implementation of a universal set of quantum gates. This is a challenging task in particular if we restrict ourselves to a limited class of two-particle interactions by which the physical qubits can be controlled. For the special cases of four and six physical qubits we discuss a set of such quantum gates which satisfy these two conditions for the recently developed detected-jump correcting quantum codes [1]. These quantum codes are capable of stabilizing distinguishable qubits against decoherence arising from spontaneous decay processes.

Universal Sets of Quantum Gates for Detected Jump-Error Correcting Quantum Codes

G. Alber, M. Mussinger, A. Delgado

A universal set of quantum gates is constructed for the recently developed jump-error correcting quantum codes. These quantum codes are capable of correcting errors arising from the spontaneous decay of distinguishable qubits into statistically independent reservoirs. The proposed universal quantum gates are constructed with the help of Heisenberg- and Ising-type Hamiltonians acting on these physical qubits. This way it is guaranteed that the relevant error correcting code space is not left at any time even during the application of one of these quantum gates. The proposed entanglement gate is particularly well suited for scalable quantum processing units whose elementary registers are based on four-qubit systems.

Detected-jump-error-correcting quantum codes, quantum error designs, and quantum computation

G. Alber, T. Beth, Ch. Charnes +3 more

The recently introduced detected-jump-correcting quantum codes are capable of stabilizing qubit systems against spontaneous decay processes arising from couplings to statistically independent reservoirs. These embedded quantum codes exploit classical information about which qubit has emitted spontaneously and correspond to an active error-correcting code embedded in a passive error-correcting code. The construction of a family of one-detected-jump-error-correcting quantum codes is shown and the optimal redundancy, encoding, and recovery as well as general properties of detected-jump-error-correcting quantum codes are discussed. By the use of design theory, multiple-jump-error-correcting quantum codes can be constructed. The performance of one-jump-error-correcting quantum codes under nonideal conditions is studied numerically by simulating a quantum memory and Grover's algorithm.

Quantum Error Correction and Quantum Computation with Detected-jump Correcting Quantum Codes

G. Alber, A. Delgado, M. Mussinger

A new class of embedded error correcting quantum codes is discussed. These detected-jump correcting quantum codes are capable of stabilizing distinguishable qubits against spontaneous decay. Due to their low redundancy and due to the small number of control measurements and recovery operations required these new error-correcting quantum codes offer interesting perspectives for quantum computation. In this contribution main ideas underlying these embedded error correcting quantum codes and their links to fundamental concepts of combinatorial design theory are discussed. In addition, possibilities are explored for implementing universal quantum gates within these code spaces.

Dynamical stabilization of Grover's algorithm with embedded quantum codes

G. Alber, M. Mussinger, A. Delgado

Stabilizing quantum algorithms against external perturbations and preserving quantum coherence are main challenges in the area of quantum information processing. In this contribution main ideas underlying a new class of recently proposed embedded error-correcting quantum codes are discussed. These detected-jump correcting quantum codes are capable of stabilizing distinguishable qubits against spontaneous decay provided these decay processes originate from couplings to statistically independent reservoirs. Exploiting the classical information about which qubit has been affected by the environment these embedded quantum codes minimize the number of required control measurements and recovery operations as well as redundancy. Their stabilizing properties are exemplified by applying them to Grover's quantum search algorithm.

Stabilizing Distinguishable Qubits against Spontaneous Decay by Detected-Jump Correcting Quantum Codes

A new class of error-correcting quantum codes is introduced capable of stabilizing qubits against spontaneous decay arising from couplings to statistically independent reservoirs. These quantum codes are based on the idea of using an embedded quantum code and exploiting the classical information available about which qubit has been affected by the environment. They are immediately relevant for quantum computation and information processing using arrays of trapped ions or nuclear spins. Interesting relations between these quantum codes and basic notions of design theory are established.
