Decoherence-free subspaces

A decoherence-free subspace (DFS) is a subspace of a quantum system's Hilbert space that is invariant to non-unitary dynamics. Alternatively stated, they are a small section of the system Hilbert space where the system is decoupled from the environment and thus its evolution is completely unitary. DFSs can also be characterized as a special class of quantum error correcting codes. In this representation they are passive error-preventing codes since these subspaces are encoded with information that (possibly) won't require any active stabilization methods. These subspaces prevent destructive environmental interactions by isolating quantum information. As such, they are an important subject in quantum computing, where (coherent) control of quantum systems is the desired goal. Decoherence creates problems in this regard by causing loss of coherence between the quantum states of a system and therefore the decay of their interference terms, thus leading to loss of information from the (open) quantum system to the surrounding environment. Since quantum computers cannot be isolated from their environment (i.e. we cannot have a truly isolated quantum system in the real world) and information can be lost, the study of DFSs is important for the implementation of quantum computers into the real world.

Spanning a subspace

A matrix of coefficients, when viewed in column form, is used to create a column space. This is simply the space created by a linear combination of the column vectors. A resulting vector, b, that does not lie in this space will not result in a solution to the linear system. A set of vec

Subspaces are the Natural Subsets of Linear Algebra | Definition + First Examples

A subspace is a subset that respects the two basic operations of linear algebra: vector addition and scalar multiplication. We say they are "closed under vector addition" and "closed under scalar multiplication". On a subspace, you can do linear algebra! Indeed, a subspace is an example of

Vector spaces and subspaces

After our introduction to matrices and vectors and our first deeper dive into matrices, it is time for us to start the deeper dive into vectors. Vector spaces can be vectors, matrices, and even function. In this video I talk about vector spaces, subspaces, and the porperties of vector sp

Union of subspaces

Classic linear algebra exercise: the union of a subspace is a subspace if and only if one is contained in the other. This is also good practice with the definition of a subspace, and also shows how to prove statements of the form p implies (q or r) Check out my vector space playlist: http
