Quantum phase estimation (QPE) is an important algorithm in quantum information processing, designed to estimate the eigenvalues of a unitary operator, and it plays a significant role in quantum metrology. In our previous work [1], we have established a general framework for QPE based on sequential quantum channels [2] induced by sequential Ramsey interferometry measurements [3-5], where the adaptive scheme can achieve measurement precision at the Heisenberg limit. In this report, we introduce a general approach to bosonic quantum error detection via adaptive QPE [6]. We will begin with the decomposition of the symmetry operator, and introduce its application to error detection of various bosonic codes, including rotation-symmetric codes (such as cat codes and binomial codes) and translation-symmetric codes (such as GKP codes). Furthermore, this method enables high-fidelity state preparation of multiple bosonic codes.
