Description
An analog stabilizer version of Shor’s nine-qubit code, encoding one mode into nine and correcting arbitrary errors on any one mode.
The nullifiers for this code are \begin{align}
Encoding
Twelve beam splitters [3].Decoding
Syndromes are real-valued, and decoding is done by a continuous version of majority voting (a.k.a. triple modular redundancy).Realizations
Optical network by the Furusawa group [4].Cousin
- \([[9,1,3]]\) Shor code— The Lloyd-Slotine nine-mode code is a bosonic analogue of Shor’s code.
