Motivated from the theory of quantum error correcting codes, we investigate a combinatorial problem that involves a symmetric n-vertices colorable graph and a group of operations (coloring rules) on the graph: find the minimum sequence of operations that maps between two given graph colorings. We provide an explicit algorithm for computing the solution of our problem, which in turn is directly related to computing the distance (performance) of an underlying quantum error correcting code…

Quantum-error-correcting codes using qudit graph states

The concept of a stabilizer is extended to general $D$, and shown to provide a dual representation of an additive graph code.

Stabilizer Codes and Quantum Error Correction

An overview of the field of quantum error correction and the formalism of stabilizer codes is given and a number of known codes are discussed, the capacity of a quantum channel, bounds on quantum codes, and fault-tolerant quantum computation are discussed.

The techniques investigated in this paper can be extended so as to reduce the accuracy required for factorization of numbers large enough to be difficult on conventional computers appears to be closer to one part in billions.

Stabilizer codes can be realized as graph codes

We establish the connection between a recent new construction technique for quantum error correcting codes, based on graphs, and the so-called stabilizer codes: Each stabilizer code can be realized…

Flips in Graphs

This work studies a problem motivated by a question related to quantum error-correcting codes and gives asymptotically tight estimates of f for the random graph G_{n,p} when p is constant.

Entanglement in Graph States and its Applications

This review gives a tutorial introduction into the theory of graph states, and discusses the basic notions and properties of these states, including aspects of non-locality, bi-partite and multi- partite entanglement and its classification in terms of the Schmidt measure.

Theory of Error-correcting Codes

This course expounds the principles of coded modulations for the Gaussian channel and, if time permits, for Rician and Rayleigh fading channels (fully interleaved), and reminds students of the basics of the theory of linear codes for conventional memoryless ergodic channels.
