Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code[1,2] 

Description

Quantum lattice code for a non-degenerate lattice, thereby admitting a finite-dimensional logical subspace. Codes on \(n\) modes can be constructed from lattices with \(2n\)-dimensional full-rank Gram matrices \(A\).

The centralizer for the stabilizer group within the displacement operators case can be identified with the symplectic dual lattice \({\mathcal{L}}^{\perp}\) (i.e. all points in \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) that have integer symplectic inner product with all points in \({\mathcal{L}}\) ), such that logical operations are identified with the dual quotients \({\mathcal{L}}^{\perp}/{\mathcal{L}}\). The size of this dual quotient is the determinant of the Gram matrix, yielding the logical dimension \(d=\sqrt{\| \det{A}\|}\) [1].

Protection

The level of protection against displacement errors is quantified by the Euclidean code distance \(\Delta=\min_{x\in {\mathcal{L}}^{\perp}\setminus {\mathcal{L}}} \|x\|_2\) [3].

Rate

Transmission schemes with multimode GKP codes achieve, up to a constant-factor offset, the capacity of displacement-noise and thermal-noise Gaussian loss channels [2,46]. Particular random lattice families of multimode GKP codes achieve the hashing bound of the displacement noise channel [2].

Encoding

GKP codes with fixed \(n\) and prime-dimensional logical Hilbert space are symplectically related to a disjoint product of single-mode GKP codes on \(n\) modes, such that encoding via Gaussian unitaries is possible.Dissipative stabilization of finite-energy GKP states using stabilizers conjugated by cooling ([7], Appx. B) or damping operator, i.e., a damped exponential of the total occupation number [8,9].

Gates

By applying GKP error correction to Gaussian input states, universality can be achieved without non-Gaussian elements [10].

Decoding

The MLD decoder for Gaussian displacement errors is realized by evaluating a lattice theta function, and in general the decision can be approximated by either solving (approximating) the closest vector problem (CVP) or by using other effective iterative schemes when e.g. the lattice represents a concatenated GKP code [3,1113].Closest lattice point decoding [14].

Fault Tolerance

Logical Clifford operations are given by Gaussian unitaries, which map bounded-size errors to bounded-size errors [1].

Parent
