Abstract
In this work, we develop a space-time block code for noncoherent communication using techniques from the field of quantum error correction. We decompose the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel into operators from quantum mechanics, and design a non-coherent space time code using the quantum stabilizer formalism. We derive an optimal decoder, and analyze the former through a quantum mechanical lens. We compare our approach to a comparable coherent approach and a noncoherent differential approach, achieving comparable or better performance.
