Quantum error correction using quantum codes can prevent qubit loss in quantum computers. This study demonstrates the feasibility of protecting quantum information from qubit loss errors.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Computing
  • Quantum Information Science
  • Quantum Error Correction

Background:

  • The fundamental unit of quantum computation is the qubit, a controllable two-level system.
  • Qubit loss and leakage are significant obstacles for practical quantum computation, especially in photonic systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally demonstrate the smallest nontrivial quantum codes to tackle qubit loss errors.
  • To test the ability of quantum codes to protect encoded quantum information from 1-qubit loss.

Main Methods:

  • Encoding single-qubit input states into highly entangled multiparticle code words.
  • Experimental demonstration in both the quantum circuit model and the one-way quantum computer model.
  • Testing protection against detected 1-qubit loss errors.
