Often we want to design a quantum code to satisfy constraints imposed by the physical system. To obtain feasible quantum codes, we often need to go beyond conventional quantum error correction frameworks to seek new codes. In a series of papers, I investigate using linear algebraic techniques to systematically construct tailor-made quantum codes.

Permutation-invariant quantum codes, which are invariant under any permutation of the underlying physical systems, are one important family of quantum bespoke codes. Apart from the symmetry they exhibit, permutation-invariant quantum codes are also naturally immune against permutation errors that may occur during quantum communication. Moerover, permutation-invariant qubit codes lie in the ground space of any spin-1/2 Heisenberg ferromagnet, and are immune from the dynamics induced by any such quantum ferromagnet.

Yingkai Ouyang Physical Review A 90, 062317

Many physical systems can be described as bosonic systems. I am interested in designing quantum bespoke bosonic codes, which are for example naturally leave invariant by the Hamiltonian of a quantum bus. This makes such codes suitable for transmission in quantum buses.

We introduce quantum weight enumerators for amplitude damping (AD) errors and work within the framework of approximate quantum error correction. In particular, we introduce an auxiliary exact weight enumerator that is intrinsic to a code space and moreover, we establish a linear relationship between the quantum weight enumerators for AD errors and this auxiliary exact weight enumerator. This allows us to establish a linear program that is infeasible only when AQEC AD codes with corresponding parameters do not exist.
