To date, the design of code words has centered on optimizing the state occupation in the relevant basis to generate the distance needed for error correction. Here, we show tuning the phase degree of freedom in the design of code words can affect, and potentially enhance, the protection against Markovian errors that involve excitation exchange with the environment. As illustrations, we first consider phase engineering bosonic codes with uniform spacing in the Fock basis that correct excitation loss with a Kerr unitary and show that these modified codes feature destructive interference between error code words and, with an adapted &ldquo;two-level&rdquo; recovery, the error protection is significantly enhanced. We then study protection against energy decay with the presence of mode nonlinearities &hellip;</p>1 aLi, Linshu1 aYoung, Dylan, J1 aAlbert, Victor, V.1 aNoh, Kyungjoo1 aZou, Chang-Ling1 aJiang, Liang  uhttps://authors.library.caltech.edu/109764/2/1901.05358.pdf01434nas a2200193   4500008004100000245005500041210005500096260001500151490000800166520090200174100001701076700001601093700001701109700001801126700002101144700001701165700002101182856003701203       2019                        eng d00aPhoton pair condensation by engineered dissipation0 aPhoton pair condensation by engineered dissipation  c04/02/20190 v1233 a<p>Dissipation can usually induce detrimental decoherence in a quantum system. However, engineered dissipation can be used to prepare and stabilize coherent quantum many-body states. Here, we show that by engineering dissipators containing photon pair operators, one can stabilize an exotic dark state, which is a condensate of photon pairs with a phase-nematic order. In this system, the usual superfluid order parameter, i.e. single-photon correlation, is absent, while the photon pair correlation exhibits long-range order. Although the dark state is not unique due to multiple parity sectors, we devise an additional type of dissipators to stabilize the dark state in a particular parity sector via a diffusive annihilation process which obeys Glauber dynamics in an Ising model. Furthermore, we propose an implementation of these photon-pair dissipators in circuit-QED architecture.&nbsp;</p>1 aCian, Ze-Pei1 aZhu, Guanyu1 aChu, Su-Kuan1 aSeif, Alireza1 aDeGottardi, Wade1 aJiang, Liang1 aHafezi, Mohammad  uhttps://arxiv.org/abs/1904.00016
