Constructing Non-binary Asymmetric Quantum Codes via Graphs

The theory of quantum error correcting codes is a primary tool for fighting decoherence and other quantum noise in quantum communication and quantum computation. Recently, the theory of quantum error correcting codes has developed rapidly and been extended to protect quantum information over asymmetric quantum channels, in which phase-shift and qubit-flip errors occur with different probabilities. In this paper, we generalize the construction of symmetric quantum codes via graphs (or matrices) to the asymmetric case, converting the construction of asymmetric quantum codes to finding matrices with some special properties. We also propose some asymmetric quantum Maximal Distance Separable (MDS) codes as examples constructed in this way.

Degenerate asymmetric quantum concatenated codes for correcting biased quantum errors

In most practical quantum mechanical systems,quantum noise due to decoherence is highly biased towards dephasing.The quantum state suffers from phase flip noise much more seriously than from the bit flip noise.In this work,we construct new families of asymmetric quantum concatenated codes(AQCCs)to deal with such biased quantum noise.Our construction is based on a novel concatenation scheme for constructing AQCCs with large asymmetries,in which classical tensor product codes and concatenated codes are utilized to correct phase flip noise and bit flip noise,respectively.We generalize the original concatenation scheme to a more general case for better correcting degenerate errors.Moreover,we focus on constructing nonbinary AQCCs that are highly degenerate.Compared to previous literatures,AQCCs constructed in this paper show much better parameter performance than existed ones.Furthermore,we design the specific encoding circuit of the AQCCs.It is shown that our codes can be encoded more efficiently than standard quantum codes.

Quantum secret sharing based on quantum error-correcting codes

Quantum secret sharing（QSS） is a procedure of sharing classical information or quantum information by using quantum states. This paper presents how to use a [2k- 1, 1, k] quantum error-correcting code （QECC） to implement a quantum （k, 2k-1） threshold scheme. It also takes advantage of classical enhancement of the [2k-1, 1, k] QECC to establish a QSS scheme which can share classical information and quantum information simultaneously. Because information is encoded into QECC, these schemes can prevent intercept-resend attacks and be implemented on some noisy channels.

Performance of entanglement-assisted quantum codes with noisy ebits over asymmetric and memory channels

Entanglement-assisted quantum error correction codes(EAQECCs)play an important role in quantum communications with noise.Such a scheme can use arbitrary classical linear code to transmit qubits over noisy quantum channels by consuming some ebits between the sender(Alice)and the receiver(Bob).It is usually assumed that the preshared ebits of Bob are error free.However,noise on these ebits is unavoidable in many cases.In this work,we evaluate the performance of EAQECCs with noisy ebits over asymmetric quantum channels and quantum channels with memory by computing the exact entanglement fidelity of several EAQECCs.We consider asymmetric errors in both qubits and ebits and show that the performance of EAQECCs in entanglement fidelity gets improved for qubits and ebits over asymmetric channels.In quantum memory channels,we compute the entanglement fidelity of several EAQECCs over Markovian quantum memory channels and show that the performance of EAQECCs is lowered down by the channel memory.Furthermore,we show that the performance of EAQECCs is diverse when the error probabilities of qubits and ebits are different.In both asymmetric and memory quantum channels,we show that the performance of EAQECCs is improved largely when the error probability of ebits is reasonably smaller than that of qubits.

ON CLASSICAL BCH CODES AND QUANTUM BCH CODES

It is a regular way of constructing quantum error-correcting codes via codes with self-orthogonal property, and whether a classical Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) code is self-orthogonal can be determined by its designed distance. In this paper, we give the sufficient and necessary condition for arbitrary classical BCH codes with self-orthogonal property through algorithms. We also give a better upper bound of the designed distance of a classical narrow-sense BCH code which contains its Euclidean dual. Besides these, we also give one algorithm to compute the dimension of these codes. The complexity of all algorithms is analyzed. Then the results can be applied to construct a series of quantum BCH codes via the famous CSS constructions.

Quantum BCH Codes Based on Spectral Techniques

When the time variable in quantum signal processing is discrete, the Fourier transform exists on the vector space of n-tuples over the Galois field F2, which plays an important role in the investigation of quantum signals. By using Fourier transforms, the idea of quantum coding theory can be described in a setting that is much different from that seen that far. Quantum BCH codes can be defined as codes whose quantum states have certain specified consecutive spectral components equal to zero and the error-correcting ability is also described by the number of the consecutive zeros. Moreover, the decoding of quantum codes can be described spectrally with more efficiency.

A NOVEL CONSTRUCTION OF QUANTUM LDPC CODES BASED ON CYCLIC CLASSES OF LINES IN EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRIES

The dual-containing (or self-orthogonal) formalism of Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes provides a universal connection between a classical linear code and a Quantum Error-Correcting Code (QECC). We propose a novel class of quantum Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes constructed from cyclic classes of lines in Euclidean Geometry (EG). The corresponding constructed parity check matrix has quasi-cyclic structure that can be encoded flexibility, and satisfies the requirement of dual-containing quantum code. Taking the advantage of quasi-cyclic structure, we use a structured approach to construct Generalized Parity Check Matrix (GPCM). This new class of quantum codes has higher code rate, more sparse check matrix, and exactly one four-cycle in each pair of two rows. Ex-perimental results show that the proposed quantum codes, such as EG(2,q)II-QECC, EG(3,q)II-QECC, have better performance than that of other methods based on EG, over the depolarizing channel and decoded with iterative decoding based on the sum-product decoding algorithm.

Optimal Asymmetric Quantum Codes from the Euclidean Sums of Linear Codes

In this paper,we first give the definition of the Euclidean sums of linear codes,and prove that the Euclidean sums of linear codes are Euclidean dual-containing.Then we construct two new classes of optimal asymmetric quantum error-correcting codes based on Euclidean sums of the Reed-Solomon codes,and two new classes of optimal asymmetric quantum error-correcting codes based on Euclidean sums of linear codes generated by Vandermonde matrices over finite fields.Moreover,these optimal asymmetric quantum errorcorrecting codes constructed in this paper are different from the ones in the literature.

A Novel Deterministic Quantum Communication Scheme Using Stabilizer Quantum Code

Exploiting the encoding process of the stabilizer quantum code [[n, k, d]], a deterministic quantum communication scheme, in which n - 1 photons are distributed forward and backward in two-way channel, is proposed to transmit the secret messages with unconditional security. The present scheme can be implemented to distribute the secret quantum （or classical） messages with great capacity in imperfect quantum channel since the utilized code encodes k-qubit messages for each scheme run.

Constructions of new families of nonbinary asymmetric quantum BCH codes and subsystem BCH codes

Two code constructions generating new families of good nonbinary asymmetric quantum BCH codes and good nonbinary subsystem BCH codes are presented in this paper.The first one is derived from q-ary Steane's enlargement of CSS codes applied to nonnarrow-sense BCH codes.The second one is derived from the method of defining sets of classical cyclic codes.The asymmetric quantum BCH codes and subsystem BCH codes here have better parameters than the ones available in the literature.

Secure deterministic communication scheme based on quantum remote state preparation

Based on the techniques of the quantum remote state preparation via a deterministic way, this paper proposes a quantum communication scheme to distribute the secret messages in two phases, i.e., the carrier state checking phase and the message state transmitting phase. In the first phase, the secret messages are encoded by the sender using a stabilizer quantum code and then transmitted to the receiver by implementing three CNOT gates. In the second phase, the communicators check the perfectness of the entanglement of the transmitted states. The messages can be distributed to the receiver even if some of the transmitted qubits are destroyed.

Photonic Communications and Quantum Information Storage Capacities

This paper presents photonic communications and data storage capacitates for classical and quantum communications over a quantum channel. These capacities represent a generalization of Shannon’s classical channel capacity and coding theorem in two ways. First, it extends classical results for bit communication transport to all frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. Second, it extends the results to quantum bit (qubit) transport as well as a hybrid of classical and quantum communications. Nature’s limits on the rate at which classical and/or quantum information can be sent error-free over a quantum channel using classical and/or quantum error-correcting codes are presented as a function of the thermal background light level and Einstein zero-point energy. Graphical results are given as well as numerical results regarding communication rate limits using Planck’s natural frequency and time-interval units!

A Quantum Error-Correction Circuit Based on Cyclic Code

In this paper, the cyclic code of the classic circuit is transformed and transplanted; then, the quantum encoding scheme based on cyclic code and quantum error-correction circuit is constructed. The proposed circuit can correct one-bit error, and the use of redundant bits to encode more than one-bit quantum information breaks the previous limitations of many bits encoding a quantum bit. Compared with the existing coding circuits （Shor code, Steane code and five stable subcode）, it shows obvious superiority in the quantum coding efficiency and transmission efficiency.

A Construction of Quantum Error-Locating Codes

We present the construction of quantum error-locating(QEL) codes based on classical error-locating(EL)codes. Similar to classical EL codes, QEL codes lie midway between quantum error-correcting codes and quantum errordetecting codes. Then QEL codes can locate qubit errors within one sub-block of the received qubit symbols but do not need to determine the exact locations of the erroneous qubits. We show that, an e-error-locating code derived from an arbitrary binary cyclic code with generator polynomial g(x), can lead to a QEL code with e error-locating abilities, only if g(x) does not contain the(1 + x)-factor.
