Shrinking of operators in quantum error correction and AdS/CFT

Abstract We first show that a class of operators acting on a given bipartite pure state on ℋ A ⊗ ℋ B can shrink its supports on ℋ A ⊗ ℋ B to only ℋ A or ℋ B while keeping its mappings. Using this result, we show how to systematically construct the decoders of the quantum error-correcting codes again...

description Abstract We first show that a class of operators acting on a given bipartite pure state on ℋ A ⊗ ℋ B can shrink its supports on ℋ A ⊗ ℋ B to only ℋ A or ℋ B while keeping its mappings. Using this result, we show how to systematically construct the decoders of the quantum error-correcting codes against erasure errors. The implications of the results for the operator dictionary in the AdS/CFT correspondence are also discussed. The “sub- algebra code with complementary recovery” introduced in the recent work of Harlow is a quantum error-correcting code that shares many common features with the AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider it under the restriction of the bulk (logical) Hilbert space to a subspace that generally has no tensor factorization into subsystems. In this code, the central operators of the reconstructed algebra on the boundary subregion can emerge as a consequence of the restriction of the bulk Hilbert space. Finally, we show a theorem in this code which implies the validity of not only the entanglement wedge reconstruction but also its converse statement with the central operators.
