Quantum Error Correction - General Codes

General Codes

In general, a quantum code for a quantum channel is a subspace, where is the state Hilbert space, such that there exists another quantum channel with

(\mathcal{R} \circ \mathcal{E})(\rho) = \rho \quad \forall \rho = P_{\mathcal{C}}\rho P_{\mathcal{C}},

where is the orthogonal projection onto . Here is known as the correction operation.

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or codes:

    “The general interest of the masses might take the place of the insight of genius if it were allowed freedom of action.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    “Thou hast a voice, great Mountain, to repeal
    Large codes of fraud and woe; not understood
