A non-degenerate code with error rate kappa can recover the original state with high fidelity within a time kappa^1/2 / max(B,J) -- independent of the number of encoded qubits. Whether the Hamiltonian is chaotic or not does not affect this time scale, but it does affect the complexity of the error-correcting code.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-12-21T16:21:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum chaos", "error correction", "spin-spin interaction energy", "unknown local variations", "error rate kappa" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
