Bosonic Quantum Codes for Amplitude Damping

I. L. Chuang, Debbie W. Leung, Yoshihisa Yamamoto

abstract: Traditional quantum error correction involves the redundant encoding of k quantum bits using n quantum bits to allow the detection and correction of any t bit error. The smallest general t=1 code requires n=5 for k=1. However, the dominant error process in a physical system is often well known, thus inviting the question: given a specific error model, can more efficient codes be devised? We demonstrate new codes which correct just amplitude damping errors which allow, for example, a t=1, k=1 code using effectively n=4.6. Our scheme is based on using bosonic states of photons in a finite number of optical modes. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for the codes, and describe construction algorithms, physical implementation, and performance bounds.
