Description
Two-component cat code whose two coherent states have been squeezed in a direction perpendicular to the segment formed by the two coherent state values \(\pm\alpha\).
Protection
Squeezing of coherent states allows for approximate protection against a single photon loss.
Encoding
Realizations
Squeezed cat code has been realized in a superconducting circuit device by the Gao group [5].
Parents
- Single-mode bosonic code
- Amplitude-damping (AD) code — Squeezing of coherent states allows for approximate protection against a single photon loss.
- Approximate quantum error-correcting code (AQECC) — Squeezing of coherent states allows for approximate protection against a single photon loss.
Child
- Two-component cat code — The squeezed cat code reduces to the two-component cat code when there is no squeezing.
Cousin
- Squeezed fock-state code — Squeezed Fock-state codes and squeezed cat codes both utilize squeezing to approximately protect against loss errors.
