Abstract
Gaussian quantum information processing with continuous-variable (CV) quantum information carriers holds significant promise for applications in quantum communication and quantum internet. However, applying Gaussian state distillation and quantum error correction (QEC) faces limitations imposed by no-go results concerning local Gaussian unitary operations and classical communications. This paper introduces a Gaussian QEC protocol that relies solely on local Gaussian resources. A pivotal component of our approach is CV gate teleportation using entangled Gaussian states, which facilitates the implementation of the partial transpose operation on a quantum channel. Consequently, we can efficiently construct a two-mode noise-polarized channel from two noisy Gaussian channels. Furthermore, this QEC protocol naturally extends to a nonlocal Gaussian state distillation protocol.
