Noiseless subsystems for collective rotation channels in quantum information theory (Q1773048): Difference between revisions

Collective rotation channels are a fundamental class of quantum communication channels having important applications to quantum computing. The commutant of the noise operators (components of the Stinespring--Kraus decomposition) for such a channel is the \(C^*\)-algebra of fixed points of the channel. Investigation of the spatial structure of the commutant algebra is important for the problem of quantum error prevention. Methods of operator algebras, quantum mechanics and combinatorics are used here to determine the structure of the commutant for the class of collective rotation channels.
