Continuous quantum error correction by cooling
arXiv:quant-ph/0501038 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.72.012306
Abstract
We describe an implementation of quantum error correction that operates continuously in time and requires no active interventions such as measurements or gates. The mechanism for carrying away the entropy introduced by errors is a cooling procedure. We evaluate the effectiveness of the scheme by simulation, and remark on its connections to some recently proposed error prevention procedures.
