Robust Quantum Coding for Thermal Noise via Dissipative Dynamics

This paper proposes an improved quantum coding method based on Markovian dissipative dynamics that is robust against thermal noise. A method for correcting information errors is indispensable for the practical use of quantum information devices, and stabilizer codes for quantum systems have been devised. One of the quantum coding methods, namely, quantum coding based on Markovian dissipative dynamics, has a favorable feature that it does not require strict time control, however it is known that these methods are susceptible to thermal noise. In this paper, we propose a quantum coding method that incorporates a new mechanism to correct the disturbance of the quantum state caused by thermal noise into the quantum coding method using dissipative dynamics. We also analyze the stability of the proposed quantum dynamics in the quantum state corresponding to the target code word. Numerical experiments confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.
