Supporting Transgender and Nonbinary Residents

Social Transition: Supporting Our Youngest Transgender Children.

Those of us who work with transgender children frequently face decisions based on evidence that is conflicted or lacking and encounter opponents who are rightfully wary about what they see as experimental treatments without well-examined outcomes. However, in a transgender population where nearly one half experience suicidal ideation, the risk of nonintervention is quite high.1 In this issue of...

Nonbinary Stabilizer Codes

Recently, the field of quantum error-correcting codes has rapidly emerged as an important discipline. As quantum information is extremely sensitive to noise, it seems unlikely that any large scale quantum computation is feasible without quantum error-correction. In

Nonbinary quantum stabilizer codes

We define and show how to construct nonbinary quantum stabilizer codes. Our approach is based on nonbinary error bases. It generalizes the relationship between selforthogonal codes over F4 and binary quantum codes to one between selforthogonal codes over Fq2 and q-ary quantum codes for any prime power q. Index Terms — quantum stabilizer codes, nonbinary quantum codes, selforthogonal codes.

Nonbinary quantum codes

We present several results on quantum codes over general alphabets (that is, in which the fundamental units may have more than 2 states). In particular, we consider codes derived from finite symplectic geometry assumed to have additional global symmetries. From this standpoint, the analogues of Calderbank-Shor-Steane codes and of GF(4)-linear codes turn out to be special cases of the same const...
