• Abstract: Encoding in a high-dimensional Hilbert space improves noise resilience in quantum information processing. This approach, however, may result in cross-mode coupling and detection complexities, thereby reducing quantum cryptography performance. This fundamental trade-off between correctness and secrecy motivates the search for quantum error-correction approaches for cryptography. Here, we introduce state embeddings that use a k-symbol subset within a d-dimensional Hilbert space, tailored to the channel's error structure. In the framework of quantum error-correction, our reduced-state embedding realizes an explicit erasure-type error-correction within the quantum channel. We demonstrate the advantage of our scheme in realistic quantum channels, producing a higher secure key rate. We validate our approach using a d=25 quantum key distribution (QKD) experimental data, derive closed-form expressions for the key rate and threshold, and determine the optimum at k=5. These findings advance high-dimensional QKD and pave the way to error-correction and modulation for quantum cryptography.

We first prove that the standard stabilizer-based error correction and decoding schemes work adequately perturbed well in such quantum codes. We then prove that Quantum Neural Network (QNN) decoders provide an almost quadratic improvement on the readout error.
