Abstract

The present study delves into the application of investigating quantum state behaviour, particularly focusing on coherent and superposition states. These states, characterized by their remarkable stability and precision, have found extensive utility in various domains of quantum mechanics and quantum information processing. Coherent states are valuable for manipulating quantum systems with accuracy. Superposition states allow quantum systems to exist in numerous configurations at the same time, which paves the way for quantum computing’s capacity for parallel processing. The research accentuates the crucial role of quantum error correction (QEC) in ensuring the stability and reliability of quantum information processing systems. Quantum systems are prone to errors from decoherence and environmental noise, making QEC essential for ensuring accurate results by employing the Shor code, an error-correcting code devised by Peter Shor, it becomes feasible to detect and rectify errors that may arise during quantum computations. The Shor code detects and corrects both bit-flip and phase-flip errors, greatly enhancing the robustness of quantum information systems. This research offers insights into the multifaceted utility of MZI (Mach-Zehnder interferometer) and its relevance in the advancement of quantum technology. By integrating QEC with the capabilities of MZI, this study offers a holistic approach to advancing the precision and reliability of quantum technologies.
