Entanglement-assisted codeword stabilized quantum codes with imperfect ebits

Quantum error correcting codes (QECCs) in quantum communi- cation systems has been known to exhibit improved performance with the use of error-free entanglement bits (ebits). In practical situations, ebits inevitably suffer from errors, and as a result, the error-correcting capability of the code is diminished. Prior studies have proposed two different schemes as a solu- tion. One uses only one QECC to correct errors on the receiver's side (i.e., Bob) and on the sender's side (i.e., Alice). The other uses different QECCs on each side. In this paper, we present a method to correct errors on both sides by using single nonadditive Entanglement-assisted codeword stabilized quantum error correcting code(EACWS QECC). We use the property that the number of effective error patterns decreases as much as the number of ebits. This property results in a greater number of logical codewords using the same number of physical qubits.
