Squeezed fock-state code[1]
Description
Approximate bosonic code that encodes a qubit into the same Fock state, but one which is squeezed in opposite directions.
Taking the Fock state \(|1\rangle\), the codewords are \begin{align} \begin{split} |\overline{0}\rangle&=S(r)|1\rangle \\ |\overline{1}\rangle&=S(-r)|1\rangle~, \end{split} \tag*{(1)}\end{align} where \(S(\pm r)\) is the squeezing operator with squeezing parameter \(\pm r\).
Protection
The code approximately protects against loss and dephasing errors, becoming exact in the \(r\to\infty\) limit.

Cousin
- Squeezed cat code — Squeezed Fock-state codes and squeezed cat codes both utilize squeezing to approximately protect against loss errors.
