Among various classes of quantum error correcting codes (QECCs), non-stabilizer codes have rich properties and are of theoretical and practical interest. Decoding non-stabilizer codes is, however, a highly non-trivial task. In this paper, we show that a decoding circuit for Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes can be straightforwardly extended to handle general QECCs. The key to the extension lies in the use of a pair of classical-quantum (CQ) codes associated with the QECC to be decoded. The decoding error of the proposed decoding circuit depends on the classical decoding errors of the CQ codes and their degree of complementarity. We demonstrate the power of the decoding circuit in a toy model of the black hole information paradox, improving decoding errors compared to previous results. In addition, we reveal that black hole dynamics may optimally encode quantum information but poorly encode classical information.

  1. Microscopic Side Information Controls Ordered Hayden--Preskill Recovery

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Without microscopic position labels, Hayden–Preskill recovery of a fixed diary requires Θ(n^{2/3}) output qubits; coarse block labels reduce this to n^{2/3}B^{-1/3} or n/B.

  2. Tensor-network decoders for process tensor descriptions of non-Markovian noise

    quant-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A tensor-network-based maximum likelihood decoder is constructed for quantum error correction under process-tensor noise, with an MPS approximation demonstrated on the five-qubit and Steane codes.
