Day 685: Three-Qubit Phase-Flip Code

Day 685 of 2,016~18 min read

Learning Objectives

  • •**Construct the three-qubit phase-flip code** using the Hadamard basis
  • •**Understand the duality** between bit-flip and phase-flip codes
  • •**Implement syndrome measurement** for Z errors using X-basis measurements
  • •**Recognize that Z-errors in Z-basis = X-errors in X-basis**
  • •**Analyze limitations** of the phase-flip code against X errors
  • •**Motivate the need for concatenation** to protect against both error types
