A branching space-times view on quantum error correction
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we describe some first steps for bringing the framework of branching space-times to bear on quantum information theory. Our main application is quantum error correction. It is shown that branching spacetimes offers a new perspective on quantum error correction: as a supplement to the orthodox slogan, “fight entanglement with entanglement”, we offer the new slogan, “fight indeterminism with indeterminism”.

Quantum Error-Correction Codes on Abelian Groups
We prove a general form of bit flip formula for the quantum Fourier transform on finite abelian groups and use it to encode some general CSS codes on these groups.
متن کاملA generalized manifold topology for branching space-times
The logical theory of branching space-times (Belnap, Synthese 1992), which provides a relativistic framework for studying objective indeterminism, remains mostly disconnected from the discussion of space-time theories in the philosophy of physics. Earman has criticized the branching approach and suggested “pruning some branches from branching space-time” (2008). This paper identifies the differ...
متن کاملEstimating Concurrence via Entanglement Witnesses
The interest on quantum entanglement has dramatically increased during the last two decades due to the emerging field of quantum information theory [1, 2]. It turns out that quantum entanglement may be used as basic resources in quantum information processing and communication. The prominent examples are quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation, quantum error correction codes and quantum com...
متن کاملGENERALIZED JOINT HIGHER-RANK NUMERICAL RANGE
The rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. For noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. In this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, Generaliz...
متن کاملPerfect Coding for Dephased Quantum State Transfer
Near-future realisations of quantum technologies, from simple state-generation tasks [1–3] to analogue quantum simulation [4], will be small scale and will rely on intrinsic properties of the system to facilitate as much of their functionality as possible, rather than trying to impose error-prone operations to strong-arm the system into performing tasks. For example, existing quantum simulators...
