Quantum Lunch Series Event – Speaker Travis Cuvelier

Talk Title: Quantum Coding for Classical Communication

Speaker: Travis C. Cuvelier, University Texas at Austin

Abstract: Notable features of quantum error correction include the decomposition of continuous communication impairments into discrete channels and the ability of quantum error correcting codes (and their recovery operations) to protect against wide varieties of noise given such a discrete description.  Motivated by these insights, we study how techniques from quantum error correction may be applied to classical communication. We propose a general framework for analyzing a ubiquitous classical channel as a quantum coding problem. An extension of the quantum error correction conditions to this classical setting leads to some insights into general quantum coding. We also apply quantum stabilizer codes to the classical problem of noncoherent multiantenna communication: we use the stabilizer formalism to develop classical space-time block codes with competitive performance.

This is a Virtual Event.
