Line 14:

The stabilizer theory of [[quantum error correction]] allows one to import some

classical binary or quaternary codes for use as a quantum code. TheHowever, onlywhen importing the

classical code, it must satisfy the [[dual code|dual-containing]] (or self-orthogonality)

"catch" when importing is that the

classical code must satisfy the [[dual code|dual-containing]] (or self-orthogonality)

constraint. Researchers have found many examples of classical codes satisfying

this constraint, but most classical codes do not. Nevertheless, it is still useful to import classical codes in this way (though, see how the [[entanglement-assisted stabilizer formalism]] overcomes this difficulty).
