【 摘 要 】

We must protect inherently fragile quantum data to unlock the potential of quantum technologies. A pertinent concern in schemes for quantum storage is their potential for near-term implementation. Since Heisenberg ferromagnets are readily available, we investigate their potential for robust quantum storage. We propose to use permutation-invariant quantum codes to store quantum data in Heisenberg ferromagnets, because the ground space of any Heisenberg ferromagnet must be symmetric under any permutation of the underlying qubits. By exploiting an area law on the expected energy of Pauli errors, we show that increasing the effective dimension of Heisenberg ferromagnets can improve the storage lifetime. When the effective dimension of Heisenberg ferromagnets is maximal, we also obtain an upper bound for the storage error. This result relies on perturbation theory, where we use Davis' divided difference representation for Frechet derivatives along with the recursive structure of these divided differences. Our numerical bounds allow us to better understand how quantum memory lifetimes can be enhanced in Heisenberg ferromagnets.
