• Abstract: A significant hurdle for quantum information and processing using bosonic systems is stochastic phase errors which occur as the photons propagate through a channel. These errors will reduce the purity of states passing through the channel and so reducing the channels capacity. We present a scheme of passive linear optical unitary averaging for protecting unknown Gaussian states transmitted through an optical channel. The scheme reduces the effect of phase noise on purity, squeezing and entanglement, thereby enhancing the channel via probabilistic error correcting protocol. The scheme is robust to loss and typically succeeds with high probability. We provide both numerical simulations and analytical approximations tailored for relevant parameters with the improvement of practical and current technology. We also show the asymptotic nature of the protocol, highlighting both current and future relevance.

  We establish linear-optical methods to mitigate and suppress bosonic noise channels. Probability error cancellation can be carried out to mitigate errors in expectation-value estimation. For weak central-Gaussian dephasing, the suppression fidelity increases monotonically with the number of ancillas.

• Quantum channel correction outperforming direct transmission [0.0]
  Long-distance optical quantum channels are necessarily lossy. Quantum states carrying information in the channel can be probabilistically amplified to compensate for loss, but are destroyed when amplification fails. We perform distillation by heralded amplification to improve a noisy entanglement channel. We employ entanglement swapping to demonstrate that arbitrary quantum information transmission is unconditionally improved.

  Real photonic devices are subject to photon losses that can decohere quantum information encoded in the system. We introduce an error mitigation protocol inspired by probabilistic error cancellation. We show that our quantum error cancellation protocol can undo photon losses in expectation value estimation tasks.

  We exploit the idea of erasure qubits, relying on an efficient conversion of the dominant noise into erasures at known locations. We propose and optimize QEC schemes based on erasure qubits and the recently-introduced Floquet codes. Our results demonstrate that, despite being slightly more complex, QEC schemes based on erasure qubits can significantly outperform standard approaches.

  Recently, neural decoders have demonstrated their advantage over classical decoding techniques. Recent state-of-the-art neural decoders suffer from high complexity and lack the important iterative scheme characteristic of many legacy decoders. We propose to employ denoising diffusion models for the soft decoding of linear codes at arbitrary block lengths.
