Superselection Rules, Quantum Error Correction, and Quantum Chromodynamics

Published 29 Jun 2023 in quant-ph and hep-th | (2306.17230v1)

Abstract: We investigate the relationship between superselection rules and quantum error correcting codes. We demonstrate that the existence of a superselection rule implies the Knill-Laflamme condition in quantum error correction. As an example, we examine quantum chromodynamics through the lens of quantum error correction, where the proton and neutron states in the model are explored as different superselection sectors that protect logical information. Finally we comment on topological quantum error correcting codes and supersymmetric quantum field theory within this framework.
