Optimal correction of independent and correlated errors

Quantum Physics 2015-06-15 v2

Abstract

We identify optimal quantum error correction codes for situations that do not admit perfect correction. We provide analytic n-qubit results for standard cases with correlated errors on multiple qubits and demonstrate significant improvements to the fidelity bounds and optimal entanglement decay profiles.
