The central challenge in building a quantum computer is error correction. Unlike classical bits, which are susceptible to only one type of error, quantum bits ("qubits") are susceptible to two types of error, corresponding to flips of the…

Quantum information can be protected from decoherence and other errors, but only if these errors are sufficiently rare. For quantum computation to become a scalable technology, practical schemes for quantum error correction that can…

We introduce a notion of nuclear numerical range defined as the set of expectation values of a given operator $A$ among normalized pure states, which belong to the nucleus of an auxiliary operator $Z$. This notion proves to be applicable to…
