Combating Quantum Burst-errors with Quantum Interleaving Technique

Based on the interleaving technique, a kn-qubit code is constructed in this paper with more error-correcting ability than one n-qubit quantum error-correcting code without introducing the redundant qubits. By converting quantum bursts of errors into quantum random errors with the help of the quantum interleaving of the several states of the same quantum code, the proposed technique becomes an effective means to combat quantum bursts of errors. It is much simple and applicable for the quantum interleaving techniques to be used in the optical-fiber communications.
