New Class of Quantum Error-Correcting Codes for a Bosonic Mode

We construct a new class of quantum error-correcting codes for a bosonic mode, which are advantageous for applications in quantum memories, communication, and scalable computation. These “binomial quantum codes” are formed from a finite superposition of Fock states weighted with binomial coefficient...
