Sparse-Graph Codes for Quantum Error-Correction
... think a quantum code must have a large blocklength, and it must be able to correct a large number of errors. From a theoretical point of view, we would especially like to find, for any rate R, a family of error-correcting codes with increasing blocklength N , such that, no matter how large N is, the ...

Inconsistencies of the Adiabatic Theorem and the Berry Phase

Therefore, it appears that under strict adiabatic evolution a quantum system cannot acquire any Berry phase (non-cyc ...
