Non-Equilibrium Thermo Field Dynamics and Its Application to Error-Correction for Spatially Correlated Quantum Errors

Abstract

The framework of the canonical operator formalism for dissipative and/or stochastic quantum systems named non-equilibrium thermo field dynamics (NETFD) is presented in a self-contained manner. As an application of the formalism, a model of noisy-channel which is under the influence of spatially correlated quantum Brownian motion is investigated within the framework of NETFD. It is shown that errors due to spatially correlated noises can be corrected by the quantum error-correction code and error-correction procedure prepared for those for independent noises.
