Abstract
Quantum Error Correction (QEC) aims to combat quantum decoherence by encoding quantum information into a subspace of a higher-dimensional Hilbert space. A notable QEC framework, called the stabilizer formalism, was introduced by Gottesman, where a set of error operators is chosen as the stabilizer. The resultant quantum stabilizer code contains all quantum states which remain invariant under every error operator in the stabilizer. This work adopts linear isomorphisms established between selected group algebras and the stabilizers. Through a group algebra perspective, the choice of the underlying group and code generator element enables diverse types of stabilizers to be developed. We study how the dual structure of group algebras, as both vector spaces and rings, allows them to adequately model the additive space structure of stabilizers, with good characterizations on various properties of the underlying quantum stabilizer codes.
