How Dynamical Quantum Memories Forget

How Dynamical Quantum Memories Forget

Motivated by recent work showing that a quantum error correcting code can be generated by hybrid dynamics of unitaries and measurements, we study the long time behavior of such systems. We demonstrate that even in the ``mixed'' phase, a maximally mixed initial density matrix is purified on a time scale …
