Entanglement-assisted (EA) QECC

Entanglement-assisted (EA) QECC[1,2]

QECC whose encoding and decoding utilizes pre-shared entanglement between sender and receiver.

See Ref. [3] for an introduction to EA QEC.

Quantum error-correcting code (QECC) — EA QECCs utilize additional ancillary subsystems in a pre-shared entangled state, but reduce to QECCs when said subsystems are interpreted as noiseless physical subsystems.
Modular-qudit code — Pure modular-qudit codes can be used to make EA-QECCs with the same distance and dimension; see Thm. 10 of Ref. [4].
Linear binary code — Any linear binary code can be used to construct an EAQECC.
Linear \(q\)-ary code — Any linear \(q\)-ary code can be used to construct an EAQECC.
Error-corrected sensing code — Metrologically optimal codes can be thought of as being entanglement-assisted because they require error-free ancillas for optimal local parameter estimation, and the estimation procedure uses an entangling gate.
