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

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or codes:
“‘A thing is called by a certain name because it instantiates a certain universal’ is obviously circular when particularized, but it looks imposing when left in this general form. And it looks imposing in this general form largely because of the inveterate philosophical habit of treating the shadows cast by words and sentences as if they were separately identifiable. Universals, like facts and propositions, are such shadows.”
—David Pears (b. 1921)
“I cannot help thinking that the menace of Hell makes as many devils as the severe penal codes of inhuman humanity make villains.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
