Bosonic c-q code

This code defines the Bosonic/analog c-q Kingdom

Description

Bosonic code designed for transmission of classical information through non-classical channels. Encodes real numbers into coherent states for transmission over a quantum channel and decoding with a quantum-enhanced receiver.

The codes consists of \(K\) coherent states on \(n\) modes, where each state is uniquely defined through the amplitude vectors\(\boldsymbol{\alpha}^j=(\alpha_1^j, \alpha_2^j, …, \alpha_n^j)\} for \{j = {1, 2, \cdots, K}\) known as the codeword. The codebook, \begin{align} C=\left(\begin{array}{c} \boldsymbol{\alpha}^{1}\\ \vdots\\ \boldsymbol{\alpha}^{K} \end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cccc} \alpha_{1}^{1} & \alpha_{2}^{1} & \dots & \alpha_{n}^{1}\\ \vdots & \vdots & \ddots & \vdots\\ \alpha_{1}^{K} & \alpha_{2}^{K} & \dots & \alpha_{n}^{K} \end{array}\right)~, \tag*{(1)}\end{align} collects each codeword into the matrix \(C\) that characterizes the system of states to discriminate.

From the properties of \(C\), we can assess whether it is possible to optimally discriminate the codebook unambiguously. Optimal unambiguous state discrimination requires each vector to be linearly independent, which corresponds to a full-rank codebook. This is possible only if \(K \leq n\). See review [1] for details on receivers used for bosonic c-q codes.

Rate

The Holevo (also known as Gordon) capacity has been calculated for various bosonic quantum channels such as AGWN [2] (see Ref. [3] for a review).

Decoding

Joint-detection receiver that can attain channel capacity [4].Various near-optimal receiver designs that can handle arbitrary constellations of coherent states with possible degeneracies [5].

  • Bosonic code — Bosonic c-q codes are bosonic codes designed to transmit classical information.
  • Coherent-state constellation code — Typical bosonic c-q codes encode classical alphabets into constellations of coherent states.
  • Sphere packing — Bosonic c-q codes are extensions of sphere packings to transmission of classical information over quantum analog channels.
  • Two-component cat code — Two-component cat codes can be thought of as classical codes because they protect against only one type of noise.
