Class of quantum error-correcting codes saturating the quantum Hamming bound

Open access
Gottesman, Daniel·1996·Physical Review A

Abstract

I develop methods for analyzing quantum error-correcting codes, and use these methods to construct an infinite class of codes saturating the quantum Hamming bound. These codes encode k=n-j-2 quantum bits (qubits) in n=${2}^{\mathit{j}}$ qubits and correct t=1 error. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Without error corrections, the effect of noise will accumulate and ruin the entire computation.

    “Without error corrections, the effect of noise will accumulate and ruin the entire computation[72, 17, 54, 52, 7], and hence the computation must be protected.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
