Unitary Application of the Quantum Error Correction Codes

For applying the perfect code to transmit quantum information over a noise channel,the standard protocol contains four steps:the encoding,the noise channel,the error-correction operation,and the decoding.In present work,we show that this protocol can be simplified.The error-correction operation is not necessary if the decoding is realized by the so-called complete unitary transformation.We also offer a quantum circuit,which can correct the arbitrary single-qubit errors.
