Abstract

A method of managing communication over a quantum channel. The method includes generating a first set of quantum channel codes configured to encode a message to obtain a quantum encoded message, supplying the first set of quantum channel codes to an encoder, generating a second set of quantum channel codes configured to decode the quantum encoded message, and supplying the second set of quantum channel codes to a decoder that is configured to operate with encoder across a channel, wherein the first set of quantum channel codes and the second set of quantum channel codes are derived using a machine learning model.
