}We give a brief introduction to private quantum codes, a basic notion in quantum cryptography and key distribution. Private code states are characterized by indistinguishability of their output states under the action of a quantum channel, and we show that higher rank numerical ranges can be used to describe them. We also show how this description arises naturally via conjugate channels and the bridge between quantum error correction and cryptography.

The connection between quantum error correction and quantum cryptography through the notion of conjugate (or complementary) channels is explored and trumping is characterized through the complete monotonicity of certain Dirichlet polynomials corresponding to quantum states.

It is shown that trace vectors completely describe the private states for quantum channels that are themselves conditional expectations, and a new geometric characterization of single qubit private quantum channels is given that relies on trace vectors.

For a noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the joint rank-k numerical range associated with the error operators of the channel is non-empty. In…

A general theory of quantum error correction based on encoding states into larger Hilbert spaces subject to known interactions is developed and necessary and sufficient conditions for the perfect recovery of an encoded state after its degradation by an interaction are obtained.

Quantum channels can be described via a unitary coupling of system and environment, followed by a trace over the environment state space. Taking the trace instead over the system state space produces…
