Upper bounds on the rate of low density stabilizer codes for the quantum erasure channel
Nicolas Delfosse, Gilles Zémor · Quantum Information and Computation · 2013
Using combinatorial arguments, we determine an upper bound on achievable rates of stabilizer codes used over the quantum erasure channel. This allows us to recover the no-cloning bound on the capacity of the quantum erasure channel, $R \leq 1-2p$, for stabilizer codes: we also derive an improved upper bound of the form $R \leq 1-2p-D(p)$ with a function $D(p)$ that stays positive for $0
