• Abstract: We introduce a novel formulation of a Generalized Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) state that resolves all of its foundational pathologies, such as infinite energy, non-normalizability, and or- thogonality. We demonstrate that these issues are artifacts of defining the code on an unbounded phase-space. By considering the compact quantum-phase-space intrinsic to systems like coupled quantum harmonic oscillators, we have obtained a Generalized GKP (GGKP) state that is both exact and physically realizable. This is achieved by applying an obtained Quantum Zak Transform (QZT) to Squeezed Coherent States, which reveals that Riemann-Theta functions are the natural representation of these states on the quantum torus phase-space. This framework not only provides a well-behaved quantum state, but also reveals a deep connection between quantum error correc- tion, non-commutative geometry, and the theory of generalized Theta functions. This opens a new avenue for fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing.

  Based on quantum field theory, our work provides a framework that harmoniously integrates relativistic causality, quantum non-locality, and quantum measurement. We use reduced density matrices to represent the local information of the quantum state and show that the reduced density matrices cannot evolve superluminally. Unlike recent approaches that focus on causality by introducing new operators to describe detectors, we consider that everything--including detectors, environments, and humans--is composed of the same fundamental fields.
