Abstract

We study the possibility of exploiting superpositions of coherent states to encode qubits. A comparison between the use of deformed and undeformed bosonic algebra is made in connection with the amplitude damping errors.

The survival of quantum coherence in deformed states superposition

Stefano Mancini, Man'ko, V I

We study the dissipative dynamics of deformed coherent states superposition. We find that such kind of superposition can be more robust against decoherence than the usual Schrodinger cat states.

Schrödinger cats for quantum internet

Demid Sychev, Alexander E. Ulanov, Anastasia A. Pushkina +3 more

We generate and characterize an entangled state between qubits encoded in single-photon polarizations and superpositions of opposite-amplitude coherent states. We demonstrate its application for exchanging quantum information between discrete- and continuous-variable encodings of quantum information.

Macroscopically distinct quantum-superposition states as a bosonic code for amplitude damping

P. T. Cochrane, Gerard J Milburn, William J. Munro

We show how macroscopically distinct quantum superposition states (Schr\"odinger cat states) may be used as logical qubit encodings for the correction of spontaneous emission errors. Spontaneous emission causes a bit flip error, which is easily corrected by a standard error correction circuit. The method works arbitrarily well as the distance between the amplitudes of the superposed coherent states increases.

Superpositions of generalized Schrödinger cat states exposed to the amplitude damping noise

Filippo Giraldi

Abstract Superpositions of even and odd Schrödinger cat states, exposed to the amplitude damping noise, exhibit regularities in the time evolution that allow to encode a logical qubit. In the present scenario, we evaluate how the above-mentioned encoding procedure is affected by perturbations of the canonical coherent states that form the initial superposition. The above-mentioned regularities are maintained, over determined times, by perturbations of the canonical coherent states given by Wright generalized coherent states, but do not hold for perturbations given by Mittag-Leffler generalized coherent states. Thus, the above-mentioned encoding procedure can be performed with mutually orthogonal Wright generalized Schrödinger cat states exposed to the amplitude damping noise. The encoding procedure holds for special values of the label over time intervals that are determined by the distribution of the negative real zeros of the Wright function.
