Temporal imperfections building up correcting codes
We address the timing problem in realizing correcting codes for quantum
information processing. To deal with temporal uncertainties we employ a
consistent quantum mechanical approach. The conditions for optimizing the
effect of error correction in such a case are determined.Comment: 5 pages, 2 eps figures, to appear in J. Mod. Op
Information Dissipation in Random Quantum Networks
We study the information dynamics in a network of spin- particles when
edges representing interactions are randomly added to a disconnected graph
accordingly to a probability distribution characterized by a "weighting"
parameter. In this way we model dissipation of information initially localized
in single or two qubits all over the network. We then show the dependence of
this phenomenon from weighting parameter and size of the network.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
Quantum Zeno-like effect due to competing decoherence mechanisms
We propose a selfconsistent quantum mechanical approach to study the dynamics
of a two-level system subject to random time evolution. This randomness gives
rise to competing effects between dissipative and non-dissipative decoherence
with a consequent slow down of the atomic decay rate.Comment: 4 pages, ReVTeX file, 2 eps figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Quantum Gaussian Channels with Additive Correlated Classical Noise
We provide a model to study memory effects in quantum Gaussian channels with
additive classical noise over an arbitrary number of uses. The correlation
among different uses is introduced by contiguous two-mode interactions.
Numerical results for few modes are presented. They confirm the possibility to
enhance the classical information rate with the aid of entangled inputs, and
show a likely asymptotic behavior that should lead to the full capacity of the
channel
Minimum output entropy of a non-Gaussian quantum channel
We introduce a model of non-Gaussian quantum channel that stems from the
combination of two physically relevant processes occurring in open quantum
systems, namely amplitude damping and dephasing. For it we find input states
approaching zero output entropy, while respecting the input energy constraint.
These states fully exploit the infinite dimensionality of the Hilbert space.
Upon truncation of the latter, the minimum output entropy remains finite and
optimal input states for such a case are conjectured thanks to numerical
evidences
