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:

    “A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “We must trust infinitely to the beneficent necessity which shines through all laws. Human nature expresses itself in them as characteristically as in statues, or songs, or railroads, and an abstract of the codes of nations would be an abstract of the common conscience.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
