Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
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.
