Capabilities of a perturbed toric code as a quantum memory.
نویسنده
چکیده
We analyze the effect of typical, unknown perturbations on the 2D toric code when acting as a quantum memory, incorporating the effects of error correction on readout. By transforming the system into a 1D transverse Ising model undergoing an instantaneous quench, and making extensive use of Lieb-Robinson bounds, we prove that for a large class of perturbations, the survival time of stored information grows at least logarithmically with the system size. A uniform magnetic field saturates this scaling behavior. We show that randomizing the stabilizer strengths gives a polynomial survival time with a degree that depends on the strength of the perturbation.

Localization assisted quantum error correction in the toric code
Topological quantum error correcting codes are unique. Their non-trivial syndromes can be interpreted as quasiparticles, and logical errors correspond to the propagation of these in topologically non-trivial loops. Hence, to a much greater extent than other error correcting codes, a wealth of techniques from physics may be applied to understand the topological codes and enhance their power. Her...
متن کاملTopological Quantum Error Correction
Interest in developing quantum computers stems from their ability to solve in polynomial time several important problems that are only classically solvable in exponential time. One significant hurdle facing the actual implementation of a quantum computer is the need for error correction code to make reliable quantum memory in the presence of errors, such as measurement errors and decoherence. H...
متن کاملError Counting in a Quantum Error-correcting Code and the Ground-State Energy of a Spin Glass
Upper and lower bounds are given for the number of equivalence classes of error patterns in the toric code for quantum memory. The results are used to derive a lower bound on the ground-state energy of the J Ising spin glass model on the square lattice with symmetric and asymmetric bond distributions. This is a highly non-trivial example in which insights from quantum information lead directly ...
متن کاملTowards Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation with Higher-Dimensional Systems
The main focus of this thesis is to explore the advantages of using higher-dimensional quantum systems (qudits) as building blocks for fault-tolerant quantum computation. In particular, we investigate the two main essential ingredients of many state-of-the-art fault-tolerant schemes [133], which are magic state distillation and topological error correction. The theory for both of these componen...
