• Abstract: We propose quaternion-based strategies for quantum error correction by extending quantum mechanics into quaternionic Hilbert spaces. Building on the properties of quaternionic quantum states, we define quaternionic analogues of Pauli operators and quantum gates, ensuring inner product preservation and Hilbert space conditions. A simple encoding scheme maps logical qubits into quaternionic systems, introducing natural redundancy and enhanced resilience against noise. We construct a quaternionic extension of the five-qubit code, introducing a framework of 15 syndrome measurements to detect quaternionic errors, including quaternionically rotated error components. Numerical estimates show that the quaternionic five-qubit code achieves a logical error threshold of approximately $p_{th} \approx 0.015$, demonstrating improved performance compared to the standard complex-valued code. These results suggest a new pathway for quantum error correction in high-noise environments, leveraging the richer structure of quaternionic quantum mechanics to improve fault tolerance.

  Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.

  In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data. Non-unitary dynamical processes can take place on the system, for which common quantum channel descriptions fail to describe the time evolution. Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.
