Quantum Error Correction for Optical Continuous-Variable Cluster Computation — •Alexander Roth and Peter van Loock — Institut für Physik, Universität Mainz, Staudingerweg 7, 55128 Mainz, Germany

Quantum computing with optical continuous variables (CV) [1] shows high potential and the creation of an ultra-large cluster state [2] has now been demonstrated. Logical Qubits encoded in physical CV states enables quantum error correction. The finite squeezing of the CV-states acts like an amplitude-damping channel during teleportation [3], and makes quantum error correction even more necessary.

This work looks at efficient quantum error correction codes to protect the logical Qubits against the amplitude-damping channel to lower the required squeezing, and to make CV cluster computing experimentally more viable.
