Abstract Bosonic qubits implement error correction by harnessing the high-dimensional Hilbert space of a harmonic oscillator to redundantly encode logical quantum information. Squeezing of quantum states — a cornerstone of precision metrology — redistributes uncertainty between conjugate quadratures to enhance sensitivity in one variable at the expense of the other.
Popular Summary The fragility of quantum systems hinders the promise of practical quantum computing, but quantum error correction offers a promising way forward. The use of bosonic modes as quantum bits could considerably lower the number of qubits needed for such correction. One notable example is the cat qubit, based on quantum superpositions of two classical states of light.
