All-optical cat-code quantum error correction (2108.12225v1)

Published 27 Aug 2021 in quant-ph and physics.optics

Abstract: The cat code is a promising encoding scheme for bosonic quantum error correction as it allows for correction against losses--the dominant error mechanism in most bosonic systems. However, for losses to be detected efficiently without disturbing the encoded logical information, one needs to implement a parity measurement of the excitation number. While such a measurement has been demonstrated in the microwave regime using a superconducting transmon ancilla, it has remained unclear how it can be implemented in the optical regime. Here, we introduce a teleportation-based error-correction scheme for the cat code, using elements suitable for an optical setting. The scheme detects and corrects single-photon losses while restoring the amplitude of the cat states, thereby greatly suppressing the accumulation of errors in lossy channels.
