Mirror and phase-flip symmetry conjecture for real minimal qubit PI codes
Mirror and phase-flip symmetry conjecture for real minimal qubit PI codes
Let a minimal qubit permutation-invariant code have real codeword coefficients, written as and , with minimal block length for error weight . The observed relation is
Here the absolute-value relation is called mirror symmetry and the sign relation is called phase-flip symmetry. Real minimal PI-code symmetry conjecture. All minimal qubit permutation-invariant codes with real coefficients exhibit both the mirror and phase-flip symmetries in their codewords. The conjecture concerns the structure of every real minimal code beyond the numerically observed examples.
