Abstract

In this work, we present a general theoretical framework for the study of autonomously corrected quantum devices. First, we identify a necessary and sufficient revised version of the Knill-Laflamme conditions for the existence of an engineered Lindbladian providing protection against at most cc consecutive errors of natural dissipation, giving rise to an effective logical decoherence rate suppressed to order cc. Moreover, we demonstrate that such engineered dissipation can be combined with generalized realizations of error-transparent Hamiltonians (ETH) in order to perform a quantum computation in the logical space while maintaining the same degree of suppression of decoherence. Finally, we introduce a formalism predicting with precision the emergent dynamics in the logical code space resulting from the interplay of natural, engineered dissipations sources and the generalized ETH.
