"Building Quantum Spherical Codes: A New Framework"

Researchers at NIST/University of Maryland have developed a new framework for constructing quantum codes applicable to bosonic quantum systems, such as photonic resonators. This framework, based on superimposing points on a sphere, aims to protect quantum information against errors and could pave the way for more robust quantum computing systems. The study, published in Nature Physics, builds on classical information theory and introduces potential new avenues for creating photonic quantum codes.
