Permutation-invariant code[1]

Description

A code \(C\) constructed in a physical space consisting of a tensor product of \(n\) identical subsystems (e.g., qubits, modular qudits, or Galois qudits) such that any permutation of the subsystems leaves any codeword invariant. In other words, the automorphism group of the code contains the symmetric group \(S_n\).

Protection

Depends on the family. The GNU permutation-invariant family (parameterized by \(t\)) protects against arbitrary weight \(t\) qubit errors and approximately corrects spontaneous decay errors [2][3]. Other related codes protect against amplitude damping [4] while admitting a constant number of excitations, and against deletion errors [5][6].

Encoding

With quantum harmonic oscillators (superconducting charge qubits in a ultrastrong coupling regime) in \(O(N)\) as in [7]. Can be done in \(O(N^2)\) steps using quantum circuits [8], or using geometric phase gates in \(O(N)\) [9].

Decoding

For a family of codes, using projection, probability amplitude rebalancing, and gate teleportation can be done in \(O(N^2)\) [5].

Notes

Can be constructed using real polynomials for high-dimensional qudit spaces [10].

Parent

  • Cyclic quantum code — The cyclic group of these codes is a subgroup of the \(S_n\) symmetric group used in permutation invariant codes.
