Quantum Error Correction with the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill Code (2106.12989v1)

Published 24 Jun 2021 in quant-ph

Abstract: The Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code was proposed in 2001 by Daniel Gottesman, Alexei Kitaev, and John Preskill as a way to encode a qubit in an oscillator. The GKP codewords are coherent superpositions of periodically displaced squeezed vacuum states. Because of the challenge of merely preparing the codewords, the GKP code was for a long time considered to be impractical. However, the remarkable developments in quantum hardware and control technology in the last two decades has made the GKP code a frontrunner in the race to build practical, fault-tolerant bosonic quantum technology. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of the GKP code with emphasis on its implementation in the circuit-QED architecture and present our outlook on the challenges and opportunities for scaling it up for hardware-efficient, fault-tolerant quantum error correction.
