• Abstract summary: We introduce a theory of quantum error correction (QEC) for a subclass of states within a larger Hilbert space. In the standard theory of QEC, the set of all encoded states is formed by an arbitrary linear combination of the codewords. Here we propose the concept of nonlinear QEC, where the encoded states are not necessarily a linear combination of codewords.

• Abstract: We introduce a theory of quantum error correction (QEC) for a subclass of states within a larger Hilbert space. In the standard theory of QEC, the set of all encoded states is formed by an arbitrary linear combination of the codewords. However, this can be more general than required for a given quantum protocol which may only traverse a subclass of states within the Hilbert space. Here we propose the concept of nonlinear QEC (NLQEC), where the encoded states are not necessarily a linear combination of codewords. We introduce a sufficiency criterion for NLQEC with respect to the subclass of states. The new criterion gives a more relaxed condition for the formation of a QEC code, such that under the assumption that the states are within the subclass of states, the errors are correctable. This allows us, for instance, to effectively circumvent the no-go theorems regarding optical QEC for Gaussian states and channels, for which we present explicit examples.

  Quantum homogenization is a reservoir-based quantum state approximation protocol. We extend the standard quantum homogenization protocol to the dynamically-equivalent ($mathttSWAP$)$alpha$ formulation. We show that our proposed protocol yields a completely positive, trace preserving (CPTP) map under which the code subspace is correctable.
