Quantum Convolutional Error Correcting Codes

Abstract

I report two general methods to construct quantum convolutional codes for $N$-state quantum systems. Using these general methods, I construct a quantum convolutional code of rate 1/4, which can correct one quantum error for every eight consecutive quantum registers.

Minor revisions and clarifications. To appear in Phys. Rev. A
