Fidelity-based distance bounds for N-qubit approximate quantum error correction
PHYSICAL REVIEW A(2023)
Abstract
The Eastin-Knill theorem is a central result of quantum error correction theory and states that a quantum code cannot correct errors exactly, possess continuous symmetries, and implement a universal set of gates transversely. As a way to circumvent this result, there are several approaches in which one gives up on either exact error correction or continuous symmetries. In this context, it is common to employ a complementary measure of fidelity as a way to quantify quantum state distinguishability and benchmark approximations in error correction. Despite having useful properties, evaluating fidelity measures stands as a challenging task for quantum states with a large number of entangled qubits. With that in mind, we address two distance measures based on the suband superfidelities as a way to bound error approximations, which in turn require a lower computational cost. We model the lack of exact error correction to be equivalent to the action of a single dephasing channel, evaluate the proposed fidelity-based distances both analytically and numerically, and obtain a closed-form expression for a general N-qubit quantum state. We illustrate our bounds with two paradigmatic examples, an N-qubit mixed GHZ state and an N-qubit mixed W state.
