Solution to the mean king's problem using quantum error-correcting codes

Quantum Physics 2015-07-28 v1

Abstract

We discuss the so-called mean king's problem, a retrodiction problem among non-commutative observables, in the context of error detection. Describing the king's measurement effectively by a single error operation, we give a solution of the mean king's problem using quantum error-correcting codes. The existence of a quantum error-correcting code from a solution is also presented.
