Abstract:

I provide a brief introduction to the tenets of quantum error correction using the four-qubit code, making contact with concatenated, CSS, stabilizer, and rotated surface codes. I then go over bosonic quantum memories, organizing them into bosonic stabilizer codes and bosonic Fock-state codes. I conclude by overviewing six use cases of bosonic encodings, three of which circumvent no-go theorems due to the infinite-dimensionality of bosonic Hilbert space.
